Alaska and a new onslaught of farmed salmon from Chile

摘要

Atlantics: Farmed Atlantic salmon is the largest source for the mid-consumer level in global markets. Bloomberg reports that Chile's production is pegged at 300,000 tons of farmed Atlantic salmon by 2013, nearly triple 20U's output — and almost as high as Alaska's annual salmon haul."That's really the big question — when the total world supply goes back up, will world demand be strong enough to keep all salmon markets strong as it has generally been over the past few years?" said Gunnar Knapp, a fisheries economist at the University of Alaska at Anchorage.
