Innovation and Sustainability in Aquaculture: the Vancouver Island Experience

Networking and Registration 5:30pm
Presentations Begin 6:00pm

GreenTech Exchange in collaboration with Vancouver Island University is pleased to deliver an exciting panel discussion with experienced aquaculture professionals. Global pressures to meet increased fish protein demand for food have put higher pressure on wild fisheries in their quest to supply sustainable fish. Sustainable aquaculture operations have shown promise on Vancouver Island and are attracting attention from other fish farm operators across Canada and around the world.

Myron Roth, BC Ministry of Agriculture
Brian Kingzett, Deep Bay Marine Field Station
Linda Hiemstra, Sable Fish Canada
