Cod

Cod farming includes selecting healthy parents, spawning, rearing fry, feeding, and managing environmental conditions to ensure the production of strong and healthy fish for market consumption. The key benefits of cod farming include environmental sustainability, economic viability, food security, and improved fish quality. Some challenges include high capital investment and the slower growth rate of cod compared to other farmed fish, but despite this the global demand for cod is expected to grow, driven by consumer preferences for lean, white-fleshed fish rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Countries like Norway, Canada, Iceland, and the UK are leading the way in cod aquaculture, with Norway investing heavily in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and offshore farms.
