Fueled by the massive imports of Atlantic salmon to the US, and the challenges of expanding net-pen production of this species, we are now witnessing major investments in US land-based production of Atlantic salmon. To help build capacity for this fast-expanding industry, NOAA/Sea Grant has funded a national public-private consortium, consisting of academia, industry and federal labs in five states across the US - the Recirculating Aquaculture Salmon Network (RAS-N). The mission of RAS-N is to facilitate the growth of environmentally sustainable and economically feasible Atlantic salmon production in this country, in order to provide better food security and reduce the current trade deficit associated with salmon imports. The RAS-N aims at working closely with US stakeholders to establish a holistic hub of knowledge that will integrate past, current and future research as well as extension, outreach & education, and workforce training to promote the successful growth and stability of the Atlantic salmon RAS sector and, more broadly, US aquaculture . The main outcome of this collaborative program will be the development of a consensus road map/strategic plan and demonstration projects that will help policymakers, federal agencies and industry identify and responsibly allocate resources to promote an economically and environmentally sustainable land-based US Atlantic salmon industry. This presentation will review the current and future activities of RAS-N and so licit stakeholder engagement and input.
