Contribution

If you have salmon farming operating on land, there is no need for toxic chemicals and there are no escapes to damage the wild population. There are no lice and therefore no need to use highly toxic chemicals and put the fish through the misery of being in tanks with those lice. The diseases are contained and not spread among the wild population. All the detritus can be managed and clean water can be recycled. Yes, it is more expensive, as currently producers do not pay for that.
