The Southern Ocean Salmon project under study by ICLARM (International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management) and under consideration by Chile has as a major element a salmon hatchery tentatively located on the Salto Chico in southern Chile. This discussion, in the form of a progress paper, describes the physical concept on which this hatchery is based and develops a preliminary economic analysis for its operation. This analysis is, of course, very preliminary in nature although much of the cost information is taken from recent detailed studies of salmon enhancement in Washington State and Alaska.
