USA prepares for massive growth in aquaculture
Salmon Farm Science, July 24, 2012
The United States is laying the groundwork for massive growth in aquaculture across the entire country.
The NOAA Fisheries Service (kind of like DFO in Canada) and the USDA (Department of Agriculture) have released a draft copy of their National Aquaculture Research and Development Strategic Plan. The aim of the plan is to “provide a framework for federal agencies to develop programs for research and development that affect the production of aquatic organisms such as finfish, crustaceans, mollusks, and algae.”...
...Aquaculture is going to happen in the USA, and it’s going to be big.
Meanwhile, here in Canada the industry is in danger of stagnation because government lacks the will and the courage to allow it to grow.
Hopefully that will change, otherwise someday we’ll be importing most of our seafood from the USA.
