The BC Salmon Farmers Association represents over 60 businesses and organizations throughout the value chain of finfish aquaculture in BC. We represent BC’s vibrant salmon farming industry to the public, the govenment in BC and Ottawa, and industry stakeholders. Our members account for over 95% of the annual provincial harvest of farm-raised salmon in British Columbia.

Farm-raised salmon generates over $1.142 billion for the provincial economy, supporting thousands of jobs, mainly on Vancouver Island. Additionally, farm-raised salmon provides a nutritious and sustainably produced protein with a low carbon footprint that contributes to Canada’s food security and Blue Economy.

BC salmon farmers are committed to reconciliation, and all farms operating in BC are currently in agreement, negotiation, or established partnerships with First Nations in whose territories we operate. These agreements are founded upon recognizing First Nations’ right to exercise jurisdiction over the land, resources, and waters within their territories.
