Book excerpt: This discussion paper on Canadian aquaculture was prepared by the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), for review with Provincial Government officials, as one of several agenda items at the following meetings: the Federal-Provincial Freshwater Fisheries Committee (comprising DFO, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the Northwest Territories) held Sept. 18, 1985 in Regina; the Federal-Provincial Atlantic Fisheries Committee (comprising DFO, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) held Oct. 18, 1985 in Mont Ste. Marie; and the Federal-Provincial British Columbia Fisheries Committee (comprising DFO and British Columbia) held Oct. 22, 1985 in Vancouver. In those meetings, there was general agreement that DFO and the provinces should work closely to facilitate the development of the commercial aquaculture industry in Canada. Follow-up discussions have been ongoing to sort out the basis for that cooperation, as well as specific initiatives in each Province. This document is now being released because of the growing public interest about the potential for the aquaculture industry in Canada.
