The Centre's programs address agricultural challenges throughout the Canadian horticultural and food network, but primarily focus on the regional requirements of Atlantic Canada. [2] On September 2, 2003, the centre's staff was recognized by Environment Canada for providing a volunteer climate observation station for a continuous 70 years. [3]
One company, Atlantic Salmon of Maine LLC produces about 7,000 tons of farmed salmon. [3] Design and consulting firm, Innovio Labs (ILGC) has made forecasts that would suggest significant growth in the industry due to rising global demands.
Prior to the incident, Washington was the only US state on the Pacific coast where Atlantic salmon was farmed. [3] Atlantic salmon are favored by salmon farmers, since their domestication process is much farther along; farmed Atlantic salmon have been selected for faster growth, higher tolerance to disease, and greater docility.
Following the legalization of chattel slavery, slaves slowly and steadily replaced white indentured servants.

An example of this is the parasitic sea lice on wild and farmed Atlantic salmon in Canada. [47] Also, non-indigenous species which are farmed may have resistance to, or carry, particular diseases (which they picked up in their native habitats) which could be spread through wild populations if they escape into those wild populations.
The Patreksfjörður farmed salmon escape involved the escape of approximately 3500 farm-raised Atlantic salmon in an open fish farm on August 20, 2023, at Patreksfjörður, a village on the northwest coast of Iceland. [1] [2] The fish farm is managed by Arctic Fish, an agricultural company in Norway. Soon after the incident, Arctic Fish ...
The rest are farmed, predominantly from aquaculture in Chile, Canada, Norway, Russia, the United Kingdom, and Tasmania. [101] Atlantic salmon is, by far, the species most often chosen for farming. It is easy to handle, grows well in sea cages, commands a high market value, and adapts well to being farmed away from its native habitats. [7]
