SUMMARY:CaNOE National Symposium 2018
DESCRIPTION:All hands are invited on deck in Newfoundland this summer to join CaNOE in navigating a course for ocean literacy in Canada.  Our aim is to pull together to develop our uniquely Canadian perspective on what it means to be ocean literate and help shape a national ocean literacy strategy. \nPresentations and discussions will explore four sub-themes: \nOcean literacy and culture\nOcean literacy and education and communication\nOcean literacy and science and technology\nOcean literacy and stewardship and conservation \nEnd of day workshop sessions will address specific questions to help identify local actions that align with a “roadmap” that is being developed to create an ocean literacy strategy for Canada.  One question will focus on the essential ocean science literacy principles\, already adopted by the US and the EU (in adapted form). \nOver the three days\, we will celebrate and learn from successful efforts in ocean education across the country\, including indigenous experiences\, and build a resources map to share best practices! \nOutcomes include a position document describing what ocean literacy means in Canada and common messaging that will be incorporated into a Canadian brochure on ocean literacy with translation into both official languages and as many Indigenous languages as possible. \nWe are excited to overlap our symposium with a meeting of the international AORA (Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance) OL Working Group and the 2018 Coastal Zone Canada Conference\, and look forward to building synergies and relationships!

SUMMARY:AAC 2018 Conference
DESCRIPTION:Aquaculture Innovation for Sustainable Future \n \nThe application of Genomics has had a revolutionary impact on the production of terrestrial animals/ From the use of genomic selection in dairy cattle to the use of epigenomics to understand previously unexplained sources of phenotypic variation\, genomics can help elevate the success of aquatic species breeding programs. The goal of this session is to provide an overview of the recent developments of genomic applications in Aquaculture focusing into 3 main areas: breeding\, epigenomics in aquaculture and functional genomics (especially nutrigenomics). This year we will try to focus on providing a stage for emerging genomics scientists to present their work\, and we encourage graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to submit abstracts. \nThis session will feature the latest research\, development and commercialization in Marine Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (MIMTA) and Freshwater Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (FIMTA or aquaponics).  Speakers are encouraged to discuss  progress in the different extractive components of IMTA systems (dissolved inorganic nutrient absorbers\, small particulate organic suspension feeders\, large particulate organic deposit feeders\, and mineralizing microbial components)\,the evolution of the IMTA concept\, who it is for\, and what will be needed to see the emergence of this innovative practice in the western world. As aquaculture expansion in Canada will most certainly come from more species than just salmon\, diversification will not only be key to maintain competitiveness of the industry\, but the IMTA multi-crop diversification approach (fish\, seaweeds and invertebrates) will likely play a role.  Speakers are encouraged to examine IMTA as an economic risk mitigation and management option to address pending issues such as: climate change and ocean acidification impacts\, the evolution of the regulatory framework\, embracing the integrated coastal area management (ICAM) and circular economy strategic approaches\, and proper valuation of the ecosystem services provided by extractive species. \nSuccessful aquaculture requires an understanding of the physiology of the organisms being cultured. Only with this knowledge does it become possible to meet their environmental requirements and thereby allow them to realize their biological potential. Physiology encompasses the integration of biochemical and molecular processes into important whole-organism responses such as growth\, sexual maturation\, osmoregulation\, disease resistance\, and the ability to withstand the stressors of being reared in artificial environments. This session will focus on understanding the impacts of captive rearing on the physiology of aquatic organisms and on optimizing the rearing environment so as to maximize physiological performance. \n  \nThe environmental sustainability and social license of the aquaculture industry relies heavily on the existence of an adequate regulatory framework for the management of sites.  In Canada\, provincial and federal regulators prescribe the methods used to monitor the environmental effect of aquaculture.  Many techniques are available to evaluate benthic health at an aquaculture site which include direct sediment monitoring (sediment chemistry\, benthic/faunal indices and DNA barcoding)\, video surveillance\, acoustic techniques and modeling approaches.   The adequate implementation of these techniques is at the core of the design of appropriate monitoring programs and subsequent management decisions. This session will examine environmental monitoring tools / techniques\, their limitations and how they could be better implemented as a basis for environmental management policies. Current research and “outside the box” thought processes on novel approaches to better assess the environmental footprint of aquaculture activities are encouraged. \n  \nShellfish production is highly dependent on developing technologies\, environmental factors\, husbandry practices and animal health. Understanding the influence of these variables is primordial in the establishment of a dynamic and vibrant industry in Canada. This session will focus on current research related to any aspect that can affect shellfish production\, such as deep water farming\, genomics\, predation\, diseases\, carrying capacity\, spat supply\, triploidy and climate change.

SUMMARY:Shellfish HACCP Risk Analysis Training (Sydney\, NS)
DESCRIPTION:The Aquaculture Association of Nova Scotia along with the Nova Scotia Department of Advanced Education is pleased to sponsor a three part training program for AANS shellfish operators. This program consists of classroom training in shellfish aquaculture productivity and HACCP risk analysis\, as well as individualized training sessions on standard operating procedure development\, risk analysis and risk control plan development. Classroom training sessions are scheduled for November. Individualized training will be scheduled through the winter. \nShellfish HACCP Risk Analysis Training \nAs presented by Perennia\, the HACCP system has been readily adopted internationally as a reliable means to identity food safety hazards and to ensure that they are controlled during production and processing. The principles of HACCP can be more widely applied however to any process to ensure that hazards are systematically identified\, assessed and controlled. For example\, for aquaculture producers\, this system can be used as a means to assess and ensure control of shellfish health\, environmental impact or other hazards that may affect productivity or regulatory compliance. The intent of the HACCP training session is to set out the basic principles behind the HACCP system so that producers can apply this system of management to improve production processes on their farms. \nThis training opportunity is appropriate for all scales of production and all levels of technical knowledge. There is no limit to the number of employees that can attend but space is limited so please reserve your place(s) today. \nThe sessions are free of charge\, and mileage will be paid at 20cents/km.
