Economics of Potential Systems for Farmed Production of Cod

Summary

Experimentation with the cultivation of cod has a history going back more than a century and the potential for developing commercial cod production has been the subject of a number of studies over the past 15 years. Most of these studies have concluded that production of cod does not appear viable in general under the most likely assumptions of performance and price in prospect at the time. However, the most recent report prepared by Nautilus draws much more favourable conclusions on the prospects for viability.
