Abstract

Issues concerning the environmental impacts associated with the Tasmanian farmed salmon industry have been brought into sharp focus recently. In this paper, we examine the broader adoption of an existing technology for the industry to minimize future poor environmental outcomes. Its introduction is described from a broad supply chain perspective and from the point of view of commercial firms.
