Salmon farming: an emerging industry. 



Commercial Fish Farmer Aguacult. News 2 (1): 6-20. 



Factors, firms, agencies, people and problems involved in the 



emergence of this industry are discussed. NMFS conducted initial 



net-pen experiments in 1969, and the rapid expansion of the 



industry is indicated by the increase in output between tbe 



1973-74 and 1974-75 seasons, from 350 to 740 metric tons, 



including output from ocean ranching as well as net pens. 



Factors and problems of importance include institutional and 



legal constraints for both methods, site selection, feed costs 



and availability, technigue improvements (to reduce costs) , and 



commercial feasibility. It may be 3 to 5 years fief ore economic 



feasibility can be determined, owing to uncertainty about market 



demand for pan-sized salmon, prices, and costs.

To market, to market, to buy a small salmon. 



Pac. NW SEA 5(1): 3-8 and 12-13. 



A pilot salmon aguaculture project conducted by Ocean Systems, 



Inc. (CSI) and funded partially by Sea Grant is discussed. The 



project was categorized into four phases: (1) incubation, (2) 



freshwater cultivation, (3) saltwater cultivation, and (4) test 



marketing and analysis. Problems in the incubation stage include 



faulty fertilization, siltation due to heavy rains, low water 



temperatures, and a fungus. In the freshwater cultivation stage, 



the food conversion rate is discussed as is Sea Grant's $100,000 



matching funds-type grant. Water temperatures, current flow, and 



storm protection are among the main items discussed in the 



saltwater cultivation stage. Losses were also caused by dogfish 



sharks chewing holes in the pens and consuming the salmon and by 



birds scooping out some fish. In a sample of 27 brokers,
