Poseidon Ocean Systems, a Canada-based technology firm, is partnering with Mowi, the world's largest salmon farmer, to install new systems to enhance fish welfare, optimize performance and minimize interactions between wild and farm raised fish at the group's Monday Rock salmon farm located off the coast of Canada's Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
The project comes at a time of upheaval in the British Columbia salmon farming sector. The Canadian government is in the midst of transitioning the industry from traditional netpen salmon farming to land-based or other farming techniques that minimize the interaction between the region's wild salmon populations and farmed salmon.
