Salmon Pens, Hjorund Fjord, Norway 2016
Atlantic salmon pens hold 200,000 fish each, fed pellets via pneumatic tubes for 18 months. Producing 1 kg of salmon takes 1-2 kg of fishmeal; 70% of the feed now comes from crops like soybeans and corn. Farming has made salmon the second-most-consumed fish globally, as wild stocks are endangered.
