Sorry guys, I'm not sure if these links (to same article) will work as I'm away camping and I'm just on my phone. Great read if it works...

Wow, Ambitious, considering...

It's the future for sure-not that I'd eat it.

We are pretty lucky on the west coast, fresh salmon anytime. In the midwest usa it will be sought after I bet. Freshest salmon in their supermarkets

It sounds too good to be true. Reading the article I get the distinct impression that their projected figures are unachievable in the real world. The two items that seem pretty hard to believe are the claims that they are only going to use a pound of feed to produce a pound of fish and that they are only going to lose .01% of water in this closed system.

I wish them well. This is a huge improvement on open net farming. I just think their projections are a tad overly optimistic. Hopefully this method will be economically viable and can replace open net farms in the future.

X 2. Hope this isn't another Namgis like operation that had so much potential, until the reality of financial responsibility once again put cc salmon farming on the back burner.

Right- the laws of physics would seem to say differently.

and that they are only going to lose .01% of water in this closed system.

Simple evaporation would be more than that.

This is more a criticism of the way the article is written- it seems to be something of a Good News sales job.
