Aquaculture is ….The farming of aquatic organisms,
including fish, molluscs, crustaceansand aquatic plants.
Farming demands some form of interventionin the rearing process to enhance production,
such as regular stocking, feeding,protection from predators, etc…* Farming also implies individual
or corporate ownershipof the stock being cultivated.
Where Does SeafoodCome From ?
• Historically – the world’s lakes and oceans• When we needed more……….
……we just fished harder, longer, deeper or further away, and with more efficient capture technology
Transition in Seafood Supply ?
From hunting and gathering ...
… to farming, injust a few decades
AQUACULTURE…-The Blue Revolution-
AQUACULTUREThe Wave of the Future
• Increasing world population• Reduction in wild harvest• Changing consumer eating habits• Economic advantages of
aquatic farming• Quality and safety control
FISH AQUACULTURE
• Salmons • Cyprinid Carps• Trouts • Tilapias
• Catfishes • Milkfish• Yellowtails
• Eels
• Groupers
MOLLUSC AQUACULTURE
• Mussels• Oysters• Clams• Scallops• Winkles• Abalone

?
Dramatic changes in production technologies
over 30 years...
Culture methods and advances...
From ponds and raceways,to cages, to recirculation and multiculture aquaponics
Canadian Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture
The abundant potential for Canada...
• 20% of the world’s freshwater,• Plentiful marine resources,• Developed culture technology,• Still not meeting domestic demand, • Substantial export potential with proximity to the
U.S. market,• The industry has the experience, expertise and
desire to support development
