Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector globally.

Farming of aquatic organisms requires involvement in the rearing or growing process of seaweeds, shellfish, finfish or plankton to enhance production for human consumption. Aquaculture has been identified as an important economic priority for the Canadian and provincial governments and currently there are approximately 14,000 people employed in long-term sustainable positions within the industry and its allied sectors. There is a large demand for leaders and managers in the aquaculture industry across Canada and around the world. We can help you be one of them.
