Giant salmon-growing ships can seek out perfect conditions for on-board fish farms.

A novel way of meeting the world's growing food needs. China 2:34 lacks the right conditions for salmon in near-shore aquaculture. Cold ocean water is cleaner 1:26 avoiding nutrient pollution. 


A similar Norwegian ship can 4:17 retreat to calmer waters in a storm, and its bays are 5:09 larger than 2 football fields. 

Open waters 3:01 evade lice that infect salmon farms in calmer waters, and a mobile platform can maneuver away from 19:26 heat waves, algal blooms and storms. 

Cooler ocean waters have 5:53 higher dissolved oxygen content, allowing 9:48 fish density 4-6 times higher than traditional aquaculture. Conditions in the tanks are carefully controlled to keep 21:20 fish mortality below 5%. Some ships will 22:50 collect and process waste for disposal on land. 

13:11 China plans another 30 ships in the fleet
