Break-through aquaculture means no salmon breakouts

By eliminating the environmentally damaging aspects of aquaculture from the production model, AquaSeed has developed the first sustainable method of producing salmon since Mother Nature.

It’s a new standard of salmon production based on breeding and cultivation techniques perfected over more than 30 years. Our eco-farming methods break from traditional salmon production in two key ways. First, containment, which is related to escape, disease and contamination. AquaSeed raises salmon in a land-locked, closed system, thus solving those problems. To escape and breed with native stocks, salmon raised in this system would need wings (or legs).

The other difference is habitat: AquaSeed fish live their entire lives in freshwater while net-pen salmon grow out in saltwater. Because we can fine-tune water quality, dangerous contaminants, such as mercury and PCBs, are eliminated and the possibility of disease greatly diminished.
