Aquaculture in Alaska is dominated by the production shellfish and aquatic plants including Pacific oysters, blue mussels, littleneck clams, scallops, and bull kelp. Finfish farming has been prohibited in Alaska by the 16.40.210 Alaskan statue, however non-profit ocean ranching continues to provide a steady supply of aquaculture in the state. [1].
