I assume most Scandinavian ones are in fjords.

Sure. What a fjord is, exactly, is a bit of a semantic can of worms, but in Norway that'd certainly be the case. I'd imagine Denmark as well, because Danish fish farming is concentrated in Jutland. I'm not clear on the Swedish situation. I know a Swedish company wants to jump on the land-farm bandwagon and I know there was some vague discussion in Norway about doing the same, around half a decade ago, but I have no idea if it went anywhere.

I believe Sweden has lots and lots of island - so lots of sheltered places near to land to put fish farms.

In what way is fjord a semantic can of worms.

(I've always thought of a fjord as what I'd all a sealoch.)

The Wikipedia article has a good summary. Basically it boils down to Scandinavian usage (apparently) being a touch broader than the English usage.
