Upscaling deep-sea salmon farms

Bord Iascaigh Mhara has applied for an aquaculture licence to develop a deep-sea salmon farm off Inis Oírr, and is working on two further projects off the west coast to create jobs for local communities, writes Donal Maguire.

Remarkably, despite our exceptionally good conditions for sustainable salmon farming, Ireland produces just 15,000 tonnes each year

Bord Iascaigh Mhara has been working with Ireland’s coastal communities for more than 60 years on a variety of initiatives to create and sustain employment in those regions through the development of the seafood sector.
