which salmon organs would contain most of say the heavy metals? they could be selectively cut out, and any below-regulation levels sold (domestically and abroad) can be seen as a free heavy metal remediation effort in those bays and fjords. Making a closed loop system possibly including IMTA either on land (why not right at the salmon processing facilities saving transport costs and assets like boats, its cheaper to have no vehicle to maintain) or in water like the "Eggs" described in the article sounds like a no-brainer for the industry, who cares about 10x capex when the bottleneck is not capex but bureaucracy to get expansion permits? Once you realize capex is not the bottleneck (you can reuse the new system), it allows a lot of other costs to be eliminated, like disease and parasites: commingling fish with expensive health monitoring and management at density ρ can be replaced with smaller cells, each cell their intake and exhaust tubing, and the reservoir contact rate falls precipitously for the same density ρ: is the switchover investment more expensive than the current system? yes, but growth isn't limited by capex. This switchover would be desirable (true damage like the harmful fish feces concentration is prevented; false damage like bioaccumulating harmful heavy metals inserted by other human activities becomes none of the fish farmer's problems at all). The taxation excuses will dry up.

Did you use AI for this. What on earth are you going on about? My first suspicion was when you started taking about metals. Bro salmon are euryhaline. You have no idea if its viable and profitable to remove certain organs, and its based on the incorrect premise that the fish have the metals in them, the ONE type of fish that has the lowest concentration of metals in existence. You literally picked the worst possible , weakest possible argument that could have existed, somehow defying all odds, ( which tbh is an achievement in itself) before your apparent non coherent jargon laden word ramble. I need my coffee now.

  where do you see AI input? for everybody, euryhaline: "Euryhaline organisms are able to adapt to a wide range of salinities." how is that related to the heavy metals? and what's the reason behind attacking the post topic based on that? osmoregulation anything to do with it or what? I still find the post useful and interesting, and I took organ modification as a possible threat to hiding toxicity instead. It would have been more useful to explain why and make it clear for us too if thats hyped, instead of just bro'ing around :)

    its clearly a rambling splurge of random ideas done with no research in a mature industry, where he even berated the salmon industry for not implementing his no brainer ideas. I gave enough info for you to do more research man Im not going to explain why salmon have less mercury just google it. However I take your point I could have taken more time to explain certain points.
