The growth in the number, size, and production capability of salmon and other fish farms in the past twenty-five years has led to demands for national regulation of fish farm effluents. Pollution from salmon and other fish farms is substantial and reuslts in numerous adverse environmental effects. Existing laws do not effectively control discharges from salmon fish farms and other aquaculture facilities.
