Building coastal communities through British Columbia salmon farming

Fish farming includes growing fish at hatcheries on-land, in the ocean, as well as processing harvested fish at several locations in the province. Though BC products are sold around the world, many benefits are realized locally. Smaller communities like Port Hardy and Campbell River, BC have aquaculture roots that run deep – British Columbia salmon farming creates important job opportunities.

Advances in British Columbia salmon farming technology

We’ve come a long way from our humble ‘wood pen’ beginnings in the 1960s. Today, British Columbia’s ocean farming containment methods are highly technical, integrated, production systems that lean on real-time data and clean technology solutions, many of which are home grown in Canada.
