Tides Canada is the most significant funding and technology force behind a CAD7 million ($6.9 / €5.4 million) pilot project for a closed containment Atlantic salmon farm in British Columbia, and the project is turning heads in the Canadian farmed salmon industry.
“We’re following this quite closely and wish them every success, and we’ll see what their results are,” said Mary Ellen Walling, executive director of the BC Salmon Farmers Association (BCFSA).
“We need to be producing great food for people as our populations grows, so I think we’re all kind of looking at a range of options to be able to provide good food in an environmentally sensitive way,” Walling said.
