The Development of Domsea  Donaldson Steelhead (History)
Dr. Lauren Donaldson
bred the Donaldson steelhead at the
University of Washington in the 1930's to please both the
aquaculturist and the seafood connoisseur. Eyed eggs were
initially shipped from the University of Washington to Norway
and Sweden in the early 1960's. The hybrid was commercialized
in Scandinavia and raised in ocean net pens. The most productive
of the strains in Finland and Sweden provided the basis for the
Domsea Donaldson steelhead to which AquaSeed now applies Domsea's
proven family based breeding program. This industry now produces
more than 100,000 metric tons of large Donaldson steelhead annually.
