     The Aquaculture Association of Canada is a not-for-profit organization formed to foster an aquaculture industry in Canada.

    We were created in 1984, being the first national association in Canada, with the objectives to promote, support and encourage the educational, scientific, and technological development and advancement of aquaculture in Canada.

    The AAC also gathers and disseminates technical and scientific information on aquaculture development in Canada and throughout the world. It is our mandate to encourage the teaching of all phases of aquaculture and the training of aquaculturists and to encourage private industry and government agencies, both provincial and federal, to support education, research and development.

    Welcome

    from the President of the Aquaculture Association of Canada

     

    On behalf of the Aquaculture Association of Canada and our conference partners, I invite you to join us at Aquaculture CanadaOM 2012, “New Frontiers: Bridging Technology and Economic Growth” in Charlottetown, PEI, May 27th-30th, 2012. Charlottetown is many things: a premier tourism and golfing destination and the home of Confederation (or the birthplace of Canada).

     

Salmon Aquaculture Research Database

 

The Aquaculture Association of Canada (AAC) has an interest in the dissemination of technical/scientific aquaculture information in the support of aquaculture education & training.
 

A need was identified to provide a current database of scientific evidence related to key relevant issues in salmon aquaculture. As a result, a joint industry / government project was established and funding assistance was provided through the Fisheries and Oceans Aquaculture Collaborative Research and Development Program (ACRDP). The Coastal Aquaculture Research and Training (CART) and the Fisheries and Marine Institute, developed the databas for the Canadian Aquaculture Industry Alliance. The role of the AAC in hosting this database is an important one as it furthers aquaculture science knowledge exchange in Canada.
