Seafood is very important part of people's diet around the world. There needs to be a world-wide strategy that supports practices that encourage best practices when it comes to managed the aquatic life around the world.

3. Summary
• Fish farming is a key industry, but needs to be handle in a way
the ecological balance is not upset
• Provincial and Federal governments need to ensure that
riverways are well protected including ensuring water is tested
on regular basis
• All levels of government have tried to re-introduced fish into
dead lakes for decades.
• Liberals claim to be environmentalist, but many of their policies
are just a continuance of the CPC.

6. What is Fish Farming
• Fish farming or pisciculture
involves raising fish
commercially in tanks or
enclosures, usually for food. It
is the principal form of
aquaculture, while other
methods may fall under Mari
culture. ... Worldwide, the most
important fish species used in
fish farming are carp, tilapia,
salmon, and catfish.

8. Canada / Seafood

• Canada's 2016 fish and seafood export values show that trade in this sector continues to grow. Canada
exported a record $6.6 billion worth of fish and seafood products in 2016, up 10 per cent from 2015. The
United States remains our largest export market, accounting for 65 per cent of our exports worth $4.3
billion. Canada is the largest supplier of fish and seafood to the United States, emphasizing the
importance of this trading partnership.
• Minister LeBlanc will take advantage of the presence of many fisheries associations and environmental
non-government organizations to hold a roundtable discussion on Canada's plan to achieve its marine
conservation targets by protecting 5 per cent of marine and coastal areas by 2017 and 10 per cent by
2020. Marine protected areas support increased size, abundance and diversity of marine species, protect
spawning stocks and protect habitat critical to lifecycle stages which can help replenish fish stocks-all of
which can benefit Canada's fish and shellfish sector. Fisheries and Oceans Canada will continue to meet
with provinces and territories, Indigenous groups, the fishing industry, and other interested parties to
discuss their important role in conserving marine biodiversity and safeguarding the health of our oceans
for future generations.

up-call-needed-for-canadas-fisheries-management-scientific-audit-222105/
Atlantic herring is a hearty source of protein for people and marine mammals alike, but like a
startling number of Canada’s fish stocks the plan to rebuild the depleted herring population is
currently one big question mark.
That’s a conclusion reached by advocacy group Oceana Canada, which published its second
annual fisheries audit Tuesday – a report card assessing the health of Canada’s fish stocks.
The report found Canada has a lot of work to do to reverse the term decline of its fish stocks, and
it needs to pick up the pace.

10. Technology and Fish Faming
• https://www.aquaculture.world/iot-protects-fishing-fleets-and-global-fisheries-with-rpma-technology/
Over half of the world’s seafood is exported from developing countries. Much
of the catch is from small fishing boats, which are difficult to monitor and
protect. Commercial fishing in developing regions typically occurs within 30
miles from land. Establishing a communication channel that can support
hundreds of fishing boats spread out over a large area is a challenge. Boats are
small and lack dependable power. Devices have to be both affordable and
rugged.
Small boats spread out over a large remote area represent a challenge for
network designers. How many towers are needed and where should they be
located to offer enough usable capacity. Capacity is the number of devices
that can simultaneously be supported per tower or base-station.
The Oralia McMurdo Omnicom Solar Fishing Beacon uses Random Phase
Multiple Access (RPMA) technology. It is optimized for wireless machine-to-
machine communication. It is very spectrally efficient and moves a lot of data
per Hz of bandwidth. The low-power, wide-area (LPWA) connectivity is
provided by the Machine Network based on Ingenui's RPMA technology.

11. IBM and Fish Farming
• http://www.globalfuturist.org/2017/03/ibm-and-hyperledger-launch-enterprise-ready-blockchain/
IBM first introduced the concept of BaaS last year but now it believes that its new
service is ready for prime time, and it’s hoping that it’s going to go down a storm
with developers who are busy building blockchain applications that audit, monitor,
support and track everything from the entire US military, all the way through to
tuna and pigs, Universal Basic Income (UBI) programs and foreign exchange
trading.

• Before 2012, the Fisheries Act banned all activities that harmed fish habitat.
• That year, Stephen Harper's Conservative government introduced omnibus legislation that prohibited activities that affected fish in
commercial, recreational or Indigenous fisheries.
1. Liberals are reversing this approach to promote fish farming
2. Did the Liberals even consult the provinces?
3. Harper never gutted the water ways, but wanted more protection of the habitat - http://business.financialpost.com/opinion/no-

7. Liberals have been in power for over two years as such have done little to improve existing laws on water -
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/wwf-canada-watershed-rivers-freshwater-1.4154120. Liberals constantly called out the CPC for
their lack of focus on water protection, right?

• Ocean Farm 1 is the world’s first deep-sea aquaculture farm. It is designed by leading salmon
farmer Salma ASA (of Norway). They paid China Shipbuilding Industry $300 million for six
facilities.
• The production unit will be around 70 meters high and will have a diameter of around 160 meters.
the production unit will be able to produce 12,000 tons of fish each year. The production system
can withstand 100 foot (31 meter) waves. The systems can be put anywhere in the open sea. The
new system will be able to grow 3 million salmon each year. The production ocean fish farm will
cost 157 million euros.

16. Solution
• All govts around the world need to take a more aggressive plan
when it comes to managing the waterways
• Aquaculture is an option but has to be managed to ensure
environment is protected
• There needs to be right balance between the environment and
economy. Countries with poor environmental standards need to
be forced to change their ways through groups like WTO
