Title
The British Columbia Salmon Farmers Association: The trade association for the British Columbia salmon farming industry.
Description
A relative newcomer among BC resource-based industries, the salmon-farming sector has grown rapidly. It has become a vital part of the local economy in many coastal communities. Today, the industry accounts for about 15% of BC's total agricultural production, and hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity.
Humans have been tending useful aquatic plants and animals for thousands of years. However, it has only been in the last several decades that aquaculture (aquatic agriculture) has expanded in scale and diversified into many new species and technologies - providing us with an ever-increasing share of the fish, shellfish and marine plants that reach our dinner plates.
Salmon farming is one of the newest and fastest growing types of aquaculture. The demand for healthy seafood is increasing strongly, and salmon farmers are helping to meet it with high-quality, fresh products that are available throughout the year.
