    Description

    Title:

    Spatial analysis of physical feasibility criteria for alternative salmonid aquaculture production technologies in B.C.

    Background:

    Aquaculture is a key economic driver for local economies, particularly in coastal, rural and some Indigenous communities. Recent reports have recognized the economic potential of the aquaculture sector and recommended ways to support the responsible growth of the sector. Canada has an opportunity to enhance its reputation as a respected food supplier by supporting the continued development of alternative salmonid aquaculture production systems and technologies, and the continued growth of the emerging aquaculture technology industry in Canada.

    B.C. is well positioned geographically to take advantage of growing global demand, including from one of the world’s largest salmon consuming nations, the United States of America. As the low carbon economy increasingly influences the choices consumers make, B.C. and Canada can take advantage of geographic proximity to this major market.

    Furthermore, this work will support the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard’s mandate, which includes instructions to work with the province of British Columbia and Indigenous communities to create a responsible plan to transition from open net-pen salmon farming in coastal British Columbia waters by 2025.

    Project Objectives:

    DFO is seeking the services of a Contractor to identify required factors for feasibility of alternative salmonid aquaculture production technologies in B.C. such as, but not limited to:

    • natural resources, including water access,
    • infrastructure,
    • acceptable transportation distances to processing and distribution centres,
    • land use requirements,
    • skilled labour markets,
    • municipal and provincial zoning requirements,
    • oceanographic conditions,
    • and availability of real estate.

    Outcomes of the project will include a summary report on locations where alternative production systems would be suitable, which will help to attract investment towards further development of these technologies in B.C.
