Around eighty five percent of wild salmon stocks are overfished or depleted(Gaia Vince, how the world 's oceans could be running out of fish). Land based fisheries have proved mostly unprofitable for farmers because of the time the salmon take to fully mature and because salmon are genetically predisposed to stop growing colder months. The aquadvantage salmon grow year around due to their genetic modifications. This makes land based aquaculture profitable. Land based fisheries enjoy many advantages over traditional net based fisheries, such as a reduced risk of escape and they can go anywhere on land with no restriction like water temperature or water
