To maintain the confidentiality of individual producers, production figures for species with less than three growers are not listed separately in this data.
Due to Multinucleate Sphere X (MSX) disease, American
oyster landings have declined significantly; research
and development to investigate the decline is underway.
Increases in Atlantic salmon production and value
of sales were mainly due to the consolidation of the
industry, better utilisation of the sites, higher
stocking densities, and the cyclic nature of the Atlantic
salmon growout.
