PORT MCNEILLLand Based Self Contained Salmon TanksPartner: Save Our Salmon, Port McNeill, BC V0N 2R0Phone: 250.230.7136 Website: www.saveoursalmon.ca

The 'Namgis First Nation closed-containment aquaculture project about to be constructed near Port McNeill was given an $800,000 grant from the Aquaculture Innovation and Market Access Program. The K'udas pilot project will utilize a recirculating aquaculture system, which brings disinfected groundwater into salmon growout tanks and recirculates it through a filtering system. The pilot project will be located on 'Namgis property just south of Port McNeill, near the Highway 19 crossing of the Nimpkish River. The site has been cleared, and construction is scheduled to begin later this month or early in February. The pilot module, with five salmon growing tanks in a steel-clad building, is expected to be completed in August and the first Atlantic salmon smolts introduced into the quarantine tank in September. Total capital cost for the project is $7 million. Once completed the facility will be staffed by four employees providing 24-hour, seven-day-a-week coverage during its pilot phase.
