The Scottish salmon industry has grown incredibly in the last decade to produce over 145,000t in 2002. This ongoing success relies largely on the relative ease of cage farming in sheltered seawater bodies. Despite continuous improvements at all level of the farming process, increasing awareness of environmental interactions by legislative bodies and consumers alike warrant the for a diversification of the production systems if the sector's growth is to be maintained. This study compares two alternative farming systems scaled to produce 1,000t/year of harvestsize Atlantic salmon: a cagesystem located within an exposed marine site and a landbased recirculating system. Despite its high capital cost, the recirculating system has the potential to be more competitive if it obtains a premium sale price above 15%, which seems feasible. This study includes a financial, environmental, risk and sensitivity analysis providing an integrated perspective into the salmon farming industry. This work is expected to be welcomed by developers, investors and legislators and by anyone searching for a bird's eye view on the Atlantic salmon farming sector.
