Sustainability Facts
Ever wonder what type of fish and shellfish are farmed in U.S. waters? Freshwater aquaculture produces primarily catfish, trout, and tilapia. Two-thirds of marine production is shellfish such as oysters, clams, and mussels. The other third is finfish, but the U.S. has few commercial finfish farms. Existing farms are located in state waters in Maine, Washington, Hawaii, and on land in ponds and tanks in several states. Species produced include Atlantic salmon, steelhead trout, coho salmon, cod, sturgeon, red drum, Pacific threadfin (moi), Hawaiian yellowtail, and cobia.

What happens during a comprehensive 16-day survey of the upper Northeast continental shelf? On the first survey of its kind, researchers focused on the physics, chemistry, and biology of the water column (pelagic zone). They collected data on plankton, fish, invertebrates, marine mammals, sea birds, sea turtles, nutrients, light levels, and currents—information that will be used for stock assessments, ecosystem status reports, satellite development, and offshore energy planning.
