The Canadian Aquaculture Industry Alliance, the country’s main industry body for farmed seafood, has a new identity – it will now be known as Canadian Seafood Farmers (Producteurs Aquacoles Canadiens).
The national association says this reflects its alignment with all farming sectors across Canada. The change was voted on unanimously by members at the Alliance’s annual meeting last week.
The new name comes as the Canadian government makes economic resilience a central priority, and as food producers face a challenging trade environment. With the future of fish farming on Canada’s Pacific coast unclear, however, the industry faces what many see as a political battle for its survival.
