At AANS we believe it is a priority to consult with our industry members, academia, provincial and federal government to ensure we are engaging in the most relevant R&D avenues.
This year our priority session took place February 6, 2020 at Perennia in Truro. We were pleased to have presenters from:
- Perennia, Seafood Accelerator Program
- NRC Industry Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP)
- Centre for Marine Applied Research (CMAR)
- Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (NSDFA)
- Atlantic Fisheries Fund, Nova Scotia (AFF)
- Fisheries and Aquaculture Clean Technology Program (FACTAP)
Despite a snowstorm turnout was strong and we broke into focus groups based on species of interest: shellfish, seaweeds, salmonids and emerging species (eel and striped bass were represented). Each group identified two priorities they would like to see addressed and discussed strategies to reach the goals.
Shellfish
- Increasing public trust, education and awareness
- Access to seed, there is a strong interest in hatchery development
Salmonids
- Increasing public trust, education and awareness
- Improving broodstock through designated breeding and molecular projects. The need and early success of the Rainbow Trout Broodstock project with Huntsman Marine Sciences Centre was highlighted.
Seaweeds
- Market development and avenues to create value added products
- Access to seed and technology to create seeded lines for commercial growth
Emerging Species, Eels and Striped Bass
- R&D to improve land-based operations in order to meet effluent targets. There are also limited sites suitable for land-based operations for these species and not all have been identified.
- Broodstock development given regulatory constraints around access to wild eggs and a lack of breeding facilities.
