SALTY FARMER

A BLUE REVOLUTION IN FOOD IS UNDERWAY

A NEW

BLUE REVOLUTION IN FOOD IS HERE

NOT ALL FARMING BEGINS IN THE SOIL

There is a new farming revolution making waves and its called aquaculture

or farmed seafood.

 

On land, on shore and at sea, American farmers are 'getting salty' by growing healthy, nutritious & delicious seafood to feed the planet.

GET ON BOARD WITH THE BLUE REVOLUTION.

ALREADY EATING AQUACULTURE

MORE THAN  HALF OF THE FISH + SHELLFISH

CONSUMED IN THE WORLD TODAY IS FARM RAISED

      A QUICK PRIMER

                on AQUACULTURE

 

WHAT IS AQUACULTURE?

Aquaculture — often referred to as  fish farming — is the growing and harvesting of plants and animals in all types of water environments, including both freshwater and saltwater.

WHAT IS A SALTY FARMER?

Just like farmers that toil in the soil, aquaculture farmers have their hands full, tending to fish, shellfish, algae and other species in the water.  Think of them as farmers who work the water instead of the soil.

 

And although not all aquaculture takes place in salt water, we figure that any farmer who is innovative and bold enough to be part of this blue revolution, must be a little 'salty' at heart.

WHAT DOES

AN AQUACULTURE FARM

LOOK LIKE?

 

In tanks, ponds, cages, raceways, pens, spheres, pools, and in the ocean, aquaculture farms are diverse and evolving.

 

Recirculating farms are found on land or in buildings, and usually fish are kept in  large pools where the water is continuously cleaned and recirculated.

 

Open Ocean aquaculture takes place in our oceans and involves growing fish in pens, spheres or other containment in natural waters.

 

Like any kind of farming, no two look alike. And as innovations advance, our fish farms are becoming more and more modern.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO AQUACULTURE?

As a complement to wild harvest fisheries, aquaculture can help meet the growing demand for seafood, reduce our dependence on imports, provide American jobs, and help rebuild wild fish stocks. More farmed fish means that we don't have to rely on wild fisheries to feed our growing demand for seafood.

 

And as aquaculture becomes mainstream, it provides the opportunity for more convenience and cost effectiveness.

WHAT KIND OF SEAFOOD IS FARMED? Aquaculture includes the farming of fin fish, shrimp, shellfish, seaweed, algae, and other seafood. In ponds, tanks, cages, raceways, pens, spheres and pools, aquaculture is producing a variety of species to fill our plates.

WHAT'S NEW? WHY NOW?

With advancements in aquaculture innovations and science, farming methods have become safer, more reliable, and healthier for humans and the environment.

 

New technology has also improved fish farming methods and created safer, more reliable farming.

 

Certification organizations have implemented strict standards in aquaculture. Working with farmers across the globe, these organizations ensure that farming methods are good for you and for the environment.
