Legislators in the state of Maine, US, have put forward a new bill aimed at imposing density limits on salmon farms operating in state waters, in direct response to the controversies surrounding the American Aquafarms project, SeafoodSource reported.
Current regulations don’t have adequate safeguards, the newly formed Maine Finfish Alliance says. It proposes stocking limits at marine finfish farms, including the net-pen salmon farm proposed by American Aquafarms.
