Land based fish farming will create new local jobs for personnel operating the facility. Hereto comes administrative staff and employees in sales and marketing.
Also, employment among established companies in the area might be positively affected. Local companies are often used for practical reasons for installation work, service and maintenance. In the construction phase there will be an increased need for personnel which may indirectly lead to more jobs in the immediate area. As the plant is completed, the need for labor will gradually decrease. Finally, the operating personnel will hold the permanent jobs at the plant. The number of positions depend on the size of the facility.
In addition to direct jobs related to the facility, the increased activity in the area may lead to ripple effects on other local industries such as shops and service companies. Examples of these are electricians, plumbers, cleaning staff etc.
