“I came out of the net industry and appreciate all of the issues of rearing salmon in net cages” said Richard Buchanan, CEO of Vancouver-based AgriMarine Holdings, citing disease, sea lice, fish escapes and waste deposits that contaminate shellfish.
Buchanan says his system will prove that healthy salmon can be produced for about the same cost, and with less environmental damage, as salmon grown in marine net cages.
Net farmers are skeptical that fish can be raised in tanks as economically as in net pens.
