The status of spotted wolffish, Anarhichas minor: A commercially ready species for U.S. marine aquaculture?

Abstract: The requirements to rear spotted wolffish, Anarhichas minor, a cold water, demersal fish, native to the north Atlantic Ocean, have been developed over the past 25 years (since 1990s) and it now is commercially produced in one fish farm in Norway with additional plans for commercial development in the near future in Quebec, Canada. Spotted wolffish have numerous attributes that make them a desirable species to culture in the United States including, but not limited to: having a high value; desired by consumers … Show more

“…At this stage of development, data on diseases and parasites that are of concern to spotted wolffish aquaculture are rather scarce. In accordance with reports emanating from the Norwegian spotted wolffish farming activities, early investigations, and surveillance programs, this species can be considered robust with a low mortality rate, displaying low susceptibility to disease in comparison to other novel farmed marine fish species [8]. However, the forthcoming development of wolffish aquaculture in Europe and North America and the expected level of aquaculture production targeted by governmental agencies and the private sector will likely stimulate the emergence of clinical health expertise to cope with inevitable health challenges.…”
