How many salmon are grown at one time?
The typical salmon farm operates 6 to 24 net cages that contain between 35,000 and 50,000 fish per cage. Net cages can be circular or square. Circular cages have a circumference of 23 and 32 metres (75–105 feet). Square cages are roughly 30 metres by 30 metres (or 100 feet by 100 feet). Depth varies depending on the exact location, but tend to be between 6 and 20 metres (20–65 feet) deep.
