Cermaq Canada will be trialing a new semi-closed containment system (SCCS) at its operations on the west coast of Vancouver Island this fall in British Columbia.
The move comes after Canada released a report detailing the four technology systems salmon farmers could use to move away from netpen farming by 2025, per Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party campaign promise. Closed containment systems were analyzed as one alternative by Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO).
