We are proud to cohost this national conference on sustainable aquaculture in Canada’s newest province. The conference has garnered significant international interest for its foresight in bringing the production of sustainable seafood and future food security to the forefront for Canadians and around the world,” said President of NAIA and AAC, Cyr Couturier.
