B.C. aquaculture technology companies and suppliers, including one that builds land-based rearing systems, are urging Canada’s new fisheries minister, Diane Lebouthillier, to take a “balanced” and science-based approach to the subject of salmon farms in B.C.
One of the 11 signatories is Akvafuture, a Norwegian company that developed a closed-barrier net-pen system and hopes to get an aquaculture licence in B.C. One of Lebouthillier’s tasks as federal fisheries minister is to oversee a transition plan for salmon farms in B.C. – one intended to minimize or eliminate interactions between wild and farmed salmon.
But while these RAS systems may work well for some fish – steelhead, for example – they don’t work so well for Atlantic salmon, except on very small scales, said John Holder, owner of JLH Consulting Inc., which has designed and built some 160 RAS systems around the world. Holder cautions the fisheries minister from taking an either-or approach to salmon farming in B.C. He said aquaculture in B.C. should be diverse and should include both open-net and land-based systems.
