Tridge summary

Russia has seen a significant increase in industrial salmon farming, with production volumes almost tripling over the past five years, contributing over 30% to the country's aquaculture production and helping to reduce imports. The country plans to further increase domestic production to meet its own market demands. The use of recirculating water supply units (RAS) in aquaculture is on the rise, allowing for controlled growth environments, faster fish growth, and the ability to supply fish all year round. This is expected to decrease reliance on imports, with the total consumption of salmon in Russia projected to reach 100 thousand tons per year within five years.
