Next Epsiode: #104 Down on the Salmon Farm
Sat, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m.
Largescale farms growing Atlantic salmon along the Maine coast provide an affordable alternative to wild salmon. But is aquaculture creating more problems than it's solving? There is no shortage of people getting in on this rapidly changing industry in northern New England and across the globe. But this young industry has spent 30 years addressing one controversy after another. Can science help find the solutions? These were some of the questions we set out to answer. While researchers at universities around the region are racing to come up with innovations to help fish farmers deal with pollution, disease and other problems, they may not be able to save the many small family fish farms that are suddenly disappearing from Maine waters. Many of their solutions have fish farms moving ashore or to deeper, more turbulent waters way offshore.
