- Aquaculture Research Groups
- Aquaculture and Reproductive Biology
- The research areas include various aspects related to farming and sustainable development of aquaculture of finfish species that are of importance to the county, state, and international communities: reproductive biology; reproductive biotechnology; broodstock management; embryogenesis; and larviculture.
- Institute of Aquaculture
- Research focuses on fundamental questions relating to strategies for sustainable aquaculture, whether in modern commercial markets or in feeding poor communities in developing countries. Fundamental research on environments, reproduction, genetics, aquatic health, nutrition and feed supplies, on production systems, on markets, and on social and economic impacts all play significant roles.
- Government Agencies
- Fisheries & Oceans, Aquaculture Management
- The Government of Canada recognises the significant societal benefits associated with aquaculture. As a result, it has made sustainable aquaculture development a federal priority.

- Education
- A Fish with a Pedigree
- In the aquaculture industry good breeding is essential to success – but selecting top breeding Dungeness crabs or haddock poses a unique set of challenges that are not faced when breeding and crossing top performing land farm animals. How can shellfish hatcheries, for example, select the best potential breeders from populations that normally hide away under the sea… or sand!?
- Aquaculture, Innovation & Social...
- This report presents the results of the Aquaculture, Innovation and Social Transformation Workshop convened in Montreal on August 18-20, 2004. The objectives of the workshop were to: • Investigate the state and future of Canadian aquaculture from the perspective of policy-oriented social science and humanities research. • Comprehensively identify emerging social issues arising because of innovation in aquaculture. • Develop a forecast of responsible governance models for aquaculture innovation.
- Mapping the Future of Halibut Culture
- At the Institute for Marine Biosciences, our researchers specialize in studying aquaculture, natural toxins and genomics. They investigate ways to improve farming practices of marine food, such as fish and seaweed. These scientists want to make sure the resources that we take and use from the sea are sustainable. Our researchers also study toxins, and try to identify different diseases and poisons in the ocean.
