International Salmon Farmers Association - Aquaculture, or
fish farming is centuries old. Salmon farming began in Norway
approximately 40 years ago but it has become an economic driver and
social mainstay of coastal and rural communities all over the world
– in countries like Canada, the United States, Chile, the UK,
Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Ireland and the Faroe Islands.
Salmon farming currently employs thousands of people, generates
billions of dollars into local economies and provides leadership and
training opportunities for young people so that they can work and
raise families in their home communities. Farmed salmon has also
become a staple part of a healthy, nutritious and affordable diet
for people of all ages.
