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.
