The potential for marine aquaculture development in the United States is significant and recent factors have highlighted the benefits of developing a shortened seafood supply chain to service domestic markets. Marine finfish in particular hold tremendous potential as technological advancements, improvements in production efficiencies, and market forces have aligned to create opportunities for growth within this sector of the aquaculture industry. Olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, also commonly known as the Japanese flounder or hirame, is a candidate species for the U.S. aquaculture industry, which has a demonstrated track record of culture success and high market value. Although cultivation of the species is novel to the United States, olive flounder has been produced commercially for decades in other regions, notably Korea and Japan. With a number of favorable production characteristics, including a relatively short growout time compared with other flatfish species, an efficient food conversion ratio, and a well-established market presence, the species has been shown to be commercially viable. This study examines the opportunities for olive flounder to be developed in the United States, while also discussing the potential for land-based recirculating aquaculture systems culture of this species in coastal areas to provide increased resilience for working waterfront communities.

推进美国海洋鱼类的生产：橄榄比目鱼、Paralichthys olivaceus、水产养殖

美国海水养殖发展潜力巨大，最近的因素凸显了开发缩短海产品供应链以服务国内市场的好处。随着技术进步、生产效率的提高和市场力量共同为水产养殖业这一领域的增长创造机会，海洋有鳍鱼尤其具有巨大潜力。橄榄比目鱼，Paralichthys olivaceus，也俗称日本比目鱼或hirame, 是美国水产养殖业的候选物种，具有养殖成功和高市场价值的良好记录。尽管该物种的种植对美国来说是新事物，但在其他地区，特别是韩国和日本，橄榄比目鱼已经商业化生产了几十年。该物种具有许多有利的生产特征，包括与其他比目鱼物种相比相对较短的生长时间、有效的食物转化率和完善的市场占有率，已证明该物种具有商业可行性。本研究考察了在美国开发橄榄比目鱼的机会，
