Salmon Canada is a national food and economic strategy to build industrial-scale, land-based salmon aquaculture across the country — creating skilled jobs, strengthening food security, and producing clean, healthy protein in a fully controlled environment.
By scaling land-based salmon aquaculture, we can build a globally competitive industry rooted in innovation, infrastructure, and clean energy. This is a focused strategy — centered on salmon production — with the potential to deliver meaningful economic growth and long-term food security.
Industrial-scale, closed-containment recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) powered by clean Canadian energy. Predictable, year-round supply. Precision-controlled conditions from egg to harvest.
Controlled production in a clean environment delivers clean, healthy food and protein for Canadian and global markets — with consistency, traceability, and high standards built into every stage of production.
Salmon farming represents a major opportunity to grow Canada’s domestic food production in a sustainable and scalable way. By investing in modern aquaculture systems, we can reduce reliance on imports, strengthen national food security, and create a stable supply of high-quality protein for Canadians and global markets. This is about building a resilient, future-ready food system that supports economic growth while meeting rising demand.
First Nations partnership is foundational to the development of Canada’s land-based aquaculture industry. Projects are built on equity participation, long-term revenue sharing, and community-led decision-making.
This approach supports sustainable economic development through year-round employment, skills training, and ownership opportunities — ensuring communities benefit directly from the infrastructure, investment, and growth of this emerging sector.
Canada has the clean energy, engineering talent, cold water, and trusted food brand to become a global hub for investment in sustainable aquaculture.
Land-based salmon production isn't nascent technology. It's fourth-generation infrastructure, proven at commercial scale, and ready for Canadian deployment.
BC, Ontario, and other provinces positioned for industrial-scale land-based salmon production.
Biologists, engineers, data scientists, trades, processing, and distribution across Canada.
Each 60,000 metric tonne facility creates 500–600 direct jobs plus significant indirect employment.
Salmon Canada is bringing together investors, communities, governments, and industry leaders to build the foundation of a new national food system — industrial-scale, land-based salmon production that delivers clean protein, economic growth, and long-term resilience
