This document is the result of the efforts of the Resource Enhancement and Utilization Technologies Division (REUT) of the NWFSC. It is not a comprehensive review of the literature on net-pen salmon farming from its historical beginning, like the BCSAR, and it is not trying to update the BCSAR with citations to information after 1996. The document is intended to stand in its own right and fulfil a set of three objectives: First, from the perspective of the US and local stakeholders it annotates the best scientific information regarding local issues arising from or affecting development of net-pen salmon farming in the Pacific Northwest. Second, together with other literature reviews, it completes an information base for all stakeholders to make a qualified and quantified analysis and assessment of any risks associated with salmon farming in the area. Third, together with these risk assessment studies, it will assist salmon farmers to develop an appropriate COP for their industries, and in particular the salmon farm and hatchery managers in the Pacific Northwest, to develop a set of BMPs for their specific activity.
