Atlantic salmon culture began in the 1. UK in freshwater as a means of stocking waters with parr in order to enhance wild returns for anglers. Sea cage culture was first used in the 1. Norway to raise Atlantic salmon to marketable size. The early successes in Norway prompted the development of salmon culture in Scotland, and latterly Ireland, the Faroe Islands, Canada, the North Eastern seaboard of the USA, Chile and Australia Tasmania. Minor production also occurs in New Zealand, France and Spain. All of the major production areas lie within latitudes 4. Northern Hemisphere, and 4. Southern Hemisphere. We received a few questions for The Forum but we always need new ones. Do you have any quirky or interesting family stories for news News. Events that made newspaper headlines in the third month of this calendar year. The early Norwegian success reflected the excellent deep sheltered sites available, favourable hydrographic conditions stable temperatures and salinities, natural salmon strains that mature late, and heavy governmental support and investment. Scottish strains of salmon tend to mature early, reducing the value of fish as they reach marketable size, so Norwegian strains were introduced to reduce this problem. Generations of cross breeding have resulted in hybrid strains which are now the norm in most production areas. Irish production has been limited by shallow sheltered water and local opposition. The economic value of salmon farming in the Faroes has now overtaken that of fishing. North American salmon culture mainly features Atlantic salmon on both coasts. Time Stopper 4 Crack. Chile has become a major producer since Atlantic salmon were introduced from Norway and Scotland in the early 1. Chile benefits from low production costs and easy access to fish meal for salmon feed production, which allows it to compete with Northern hemisphere producers for lucrative markets. Salmon farming reached Tasmania in 1. Nova Scotia, Canada. The area has favourable sea temperatures and its relative isolation from other wild and cultured Atlantic salmon avoids some of the major infectious disease problems. Lack of suitable sites will most likely limit the expansion of the industry there. Rapid increases in production have led to falling prices, which in turn have put increasing pressures on producers to limit costs. Significant future expansion of the industry may rely on the development of offshore sites, since most of the available suitable inshore sites are already in use, and because of increasing antagonism towards, and regulation over, further expansion in sheltered areas. The vast majority of Atlantic salmon currently in production is hybrid stock, derived originally from native crossed with Norwegian stock. Some family breeding programmes are now in place, in order to attempt to identify family lines with increased production potential andor disease resistance. The use of sex or genetic manipulation in Atlantic salmon is not widely used in cultured fish. Main producer countries of Salmo salar FAO Fishery Statistics, 2. Wild Atlantic salmon are found in the North Atlantic on both European Portugal to Russia and North American Cape Cod to Labrador sides. They also occur around North Atlantic islands e. UK, Iceland, Greenland. They spend up to 4 years in deep sea feeding grounds feeding on pelagic species such as herring, sprat and squid. At the onset of maturation, fish cease feeding, and return to their rivers of origin to spawn October January. Most fish die following spawning, although some may return to sea as kelts. Eggs are released and fertilized in redds in upstream gravel beds, where they eye after approximately 2. The hatched alevins live off their yolk sacs for approximately 3. Juvenile fish remain in freshwater, feeding on insect larvae and small fish, through fry and parr stages for 2 5 years, until they undergo seawater adaptation and become smolts smoltification, a process triggered by changing photoperiod and migrate downriver to sea normally March June, where they head for deep water feeding grounds to grow and mature. Wild smolts are normally around 2. Production cycle of Salmo salar. Freshwater hatchery. Broodstock are selected from seasite production stocks, and normally moved into freshwater tanks or cages in autumn approximately 2 months prior to stripping. Eggs are stripped dry, fertilized with milt, then water hardened and disinfected, prior to laying them down in trays or silo systems. They are shocked following eyeing by pouring from one container into another to remove unfertilized eggs. Hatching takes place in hatchery trays or following transfer to tanks. Alevins are provided with a matting or stony substrate to mimic the natural gravel redd, and usually maintained in darkened conditions. Incubation of eggs and alevins normally takes place in water at lt 1. C. Following yolk sac absorption, alevins will swim up in the water column, indicating readiness to first feed. First feeding, using inert feeds, is normally carried out following transfer of late alevins into tanks, although feed may initially be offered in hatchery trays. Feeding fry can be grown on in tanks, either using flow through or various recirculation systems, or subsequently in lake cage systems, through parr stages to smolt. Fish can either be maintained on ambient temperature and light regimes to produce S1 smolts in the spring of the year following hatch, or light and temperature regimes can be manipulated artificially to induce early smoltification. Production densities vary depending on the system very intensive systems may maintain fish at densities as high as 5. In seawater. Smolted fish at 4. Transfers are usually carried out in specialized transport tanks by any combination of road, helicopters, and by sea in specialized wellboats boats with large wells circulating seawater. Ongrowing at sea normally takes place in cages consisting of large nets suspended from various floating walkway systems anchored to the seabed, although some production has been carried out in pump ashore seawater tank systems. Cages may be square or circular in design, and come in various sizes and systems. The larger sites may have cages as large as 2. Several cages may be grouped together to form a seasite. Seasites are selected on their suitability with regard to water temperature, salinity, flow and exchange rates, proximity to other farms andor wild fisheries, and in compliance with local licensing regulations. Atlantic salmon grow best in sites where water temperature extremes are in the range 6 1. C, and salinities are close to oceanic levels 3. Water flows need to be sufficient to eliminate waste and to supply well oxygenated water approximately 8 ppm. Maximum stocking densities of up to 2. Atlantic salmon are ongrown in seasites for up to 2 years with harvesting of fish from 2 kg upwards. Seasites normally contain a single generation of fish. Good practice is to fallow seasites for a period of 6 weeks or more prior to the introduction of a new generation of fish. The bulk of salmon feeds are produced by three or four large companies.
