| Summary: | The potential for marine aquaculture development in the
United States is significant and recent factors have
highlighted the benefits of developing a shortened seafood
supply chain to service domestic markets. Marine finfish in
particular hold tremendous potential as technological
advancements, improvements in production efficiencies,
and market forces have aligned to create opportunities for
growth within this sector of the aquaculture industry. Olive
flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, also commonly known as
the Japanese flounder or hirame, is a candidate species for
the U.S. aquaculture industry, which has a demonstrated
track record of culture success and high market value.
Although cultivation of the species is novel to the United
States, olive flounder has been produced commercially for
decades in other regions, notably Korea and Japan. With a
number of favorable production characteristics, including a
relatively short growout time compared with other flatfish
species, an efficient food conversion ratio, and a wellestablished
market presence, the species has been shown
to be commercially viable. This study examines the opportunities
for olive flounder to be developed in the United
States, while also discussing the potential for land-based
recirculating aquaculture systems culture of this species in coastal areas to provide increased resilience for working
waterfront communities |
