Up to 224 families of Atlantic salmon with 300–500 eggs/family
are held in the incubation system. Approximately 150–250 fish per
family have been raised through parr size. Typically 30–40 smolts
per family are maintained in smolt tanks and on-grown through
their 2nd year of age (reaching approximately 1.0 kg/fish).
Additional smolts are cultured for stocking into industry collaborator
net pens for performance evaluations and additional
research studies. These 30–40 fish per family are reared to the end
of their 3rd year and a size of approximately 3.0 kg (possibly
smaller).
