Offshore aquaculture of finfish::Big expectations at sea
Offshore aquaculture has gained momentum in recent years and the production of more marine farmed fish species is moving offshore. Initially, predictions of the advantages that offshore aquaculture would present over near shore farming were made without enough science-based evidence. Now, with more...

Offshore aquaculture has gained momentum in recent years and the production of more marine farmed fish species is moving offshore.

The oceanographic features that define offshore and near shore sites are analysed and explained. Using Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as a case study we focused on sea lice, amoebic gill disease, and harmful algal blooms risk, as well as the direct effects of the oceanography on the health and physiology of fish. The operational and licencing challenges and advantages of offshore aquaculture are also explained in depth.
