Atlantic Canada Aquaculture

Atlantic Canada Aquaculture refers to the farming of aquatic organisms, such as fish, shellfish, and seaweed, in the coastal waters of the Atlantic provinces, including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. This industry aims to provide a sustainable source of seafood, contributing to local economies and food security. Farmers create controlled environments for breeding and growing these species, while also managing environmental impacts. The region is known for its abundant natural resources and has seen growth in aquaculture practices, particularly for species like salmon and mussels, enhancing both export potential and local consumption.
