The salmon aquaculture industry prefers to raise Atlantic Salmon for a variety of reasons. Atlantic Salmon are highly valued for their nutritional content, which includes high levels of unsaturated fatty acids and essential Omega-3 fatty acids. Atlantic Salmon are also noted for their delicious flavor, which is why they are a popular choice among consumers. In addition, Atlantic Salmon are capable of growing to large sizes in a relatively short amount of time and are hardy, making them easier to care for in aquaculture operations. The combination of these factors makes Atlantic Salmon an ideal species for the salmon aquaculture industry.
