Abstract
ABSTRACTThe outlook for private salmon farms engaged in ocean ranching of Pacific salmon is examined from four perspectives‐biologic, methodic, sociologic, and economic. Ecological, physiological, behavioral, and genetic questions which relate to growth and survival of juvenile salmon released from husbandry systems are considered under biologic perspective. Recent innovations in technology to produce at low cost juvenile salmon which retain a capacity for rapid growth and high survival while at sea are described under methodic perspective. Recent changes in public policy that permit private ownership of Pacific salmon on the west coast of the United States are reviewed under sociologic perspective. Finally, questions which must be resolved before the feasibility of ocean ranching can be evaluated are identified under economic perspective.
