Mowi Canada executive blames messy transition plan for the lack of funding for new aquaculture technologies
The plan to end netpen salmon farming in the western Canadian province has spanned the tenures of three fisheries ministers since it was first introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2019.
"The transition process chilled institutional investment in aquaculture in Canada. We have not had a dime of money in four years. We are four years behind every other salmon-producing region in the world because of the transition process," said Mia Parker, Mowi Canada West's environmental performance and certification director.Photo: Mowi Canada West
