In 2008 there were about 50 registered fish farms in Iceland. Of those about 30 were producing juveniles, mostly for salmonid releases. Only four were producing juveniles of marine species. There were about 10 sea cage farms, most of which are producing cod. There are 30 additional land-based farms, mostly involved in salmonid. The numbers of mussel farms are fifteen and four research stations.
