The aquaculture industry is one of the smallest agricultural employers in Canada, but it’s also the fastest growing. The rising global demand for fish protein is predicted to create a strong market for this export-reliant industry over the next 10 years. The main species grown by Canada’s ‘aquaculture’ industry include salmon, mussels, oysters, and trout. Steelhead, arctic char, Atlantic cod, sablefish, geoducks, Atlantic halibut, quahogs, white sturgeon, tilapia, and scallops are also produced.
