2. Ray-finned fishes belonging to family
Salmonidae
Native to Atlantic and Pacific oceans
These are Anadromous
Species: to mention a few
• Salmo salar (a.k.a. Atlantic Salmon):
used worldwide for aquaculture
• Eleutheronema tetradactylum (a.k.a.
Rawas): Indian species of Salmon

4. On an average the farmed Salmon can weigh
upto 4 kgs; although wild salmons up to 36 kgs.
have been reported.
Carotenoid pigment gives the mean orange – red
color
Can be sold in cans, or smoked, etc.
Not only does it look amazing and tastes
delicious, it is also healthy

5. salmon is considered to be healthy due to:
• fish's high protein
• high omega-3 fatty acids
• high vitamin D content
• cholesterol (23–214 mg/100g)
Although PCB, dioxin (contaminants)
contents are high in farmed salmon,
according to a 2006 study published in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association, the benefits of eating even
farmed salmon far outweigh any risks
imposed by contaminants.

6. It’s a $ 10 Billion industry worldwide
Hatcheries (Ranching): eggs are hatched in a
facility and then released in the wild once
they are old enough.
Aquaculturing:
1. Extensive (ponds): relatively natural with
low produce
2. Intensive (artificial facility): more produce
but needs stricter monitoring

7. Salmon feeds a lot: 2–4 kg of wild-caught fish are
needed to produce 1 kg of salmon
Parasites: sea lice, etc.
Heavy use of antibiotics
Contaminants: Heavy metal, PCB, dioxins, etc.
Not eco-friendly: impacts the local ecology, and
affects the wild population of salmon as well.
