Industry Service Programs
Occasionally commercial fish farmers
encounter problems which may require resources or expertise
beyond what may be readily accessible. One resource
available to farmers is the Aquaculture Extension Service
which provides a "troubleshooting" service and logistical
support for farmers to facilitate problem solving.
Interactive Liaison
The Aquaculture Centre (AC) represents Ontario in
communities at both the Provincial and Federal government
levels, in an "extension outreach" capacity. The AC achieves
this by acting as a government liaison to both the public
and private sectors while maintaining a strong extension
representation as a part of the terms of reference of the
Ontario Aquaculture Committee. Legislative Support
Legislation and regulations pertaining to aquaculture in
Ontario can be complex. The Aquaculture Extension Centre
provides a factsheet to make sense of these regulations and
assists with and encourages sensible legislative changes. For more information, contact the Aquaculture Centre
