American Atlantic Salmon Genetics
There is no volume supply of domestic Atlantic Salmon Eggs available in the US today. Most salmon producers have to rely on imports. In parts of the US and Canada, local genetics are required for Salmon farming. Local genetics reduces potential regulatory, biosecurity, and supply risks for domestic farmers. It is also an excellent option for international customers. We work with the St Johns Strain from Maine that has been developed for farming through several generations. SalmoGen is accelerating performance development for this strain.
An American Coalition of Partners is Developing a High-Quality Egg Supply
Salmogen started its Atlantic Salmon broodstock program in late 2022 with USDA as a strategic supplier of genetics and stocking material. The company is supported by capable investors including Cuna Del Mar, Builders Initiative, Xcelerate Aqua, and the Penobscot Indian Nation. SalmoGen has strategic collaboration with Center for Aquaculture Technologies, Innovasea, an experienced advisory board, USDA, and others to accelerate a broodstock program adapted for land-based production.
