Wild salmon abundance.

Salmon Canada is a national food and jobs strategy to build industrial-scale, land-based salmon aquaculture across Canada — creating thousands of skilled jobs, strengthening food sovereignty, and rebuilding wild salmon abundance.

Discover
The Opportunity

Canada has a once-in-a-generation
window to lead.

We can rebuild wild salmon abundance in British Columbia and across Canada. And we can do it while building a modern, world-class salmon production industry, on land, from coast to coast.

Build on Land

Industrial-scale, closed-containment recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) powered by clean Canadian energy. Predictable supply. Zero interaction with wild stocks. Export-ready from day one.

Rebuild Wild Salmon

Remove open-net pen pressure from wild salmon migration corridors. Invest in priority watershed restoration, science-based monitoring, and transparent open data to rebuild abundance of all marine life for generations.

Indigenous Economic Reconciliation

First Nations equity partnerships and community benefit agreements at the heart of every project. Year-round employment, skilled trades pathways, and ownership opportunities in coastal and rural communities.

By the Numbers

The scale of the
opportunity.

Canada has the clean energy, engineering talent, cold water, and trusted food brand to compete with Norway, Scotland, and Chile — and win.

Land-based salmon production isn't nascent technology. It's fourth-generation infrastructure, proven at commercial scale, and ready for Canadian deployment.

1.2Mmetric tonnes/year

National Production Potential

BC, Ontario, and other provinces positioned for industrial-scale land-based salmon production.

100K+jobs

Direct & Indirect Employment

Biologists, engineers, data scientists, trades, processing, and distribution across Canada.

500+per facility

Permanent Skilled Jobs

Each 60,000 metric tonne facility creates 500–600 direct jobs plus significant indirect employment.

The Strategy

Three pillars. One measurable
outcomes framework.

01

National Land-Based
Salmon Production

  • Industrial-scale closed-containment facilities
  • Clean energy integration and efficiency
  • Predictable domestic supply and food security
  • Export-ready value-added processing
  • Canadian branding and premium market positioning
02

Coastal Transition &
Year-Round Jobs

  • Worker retraining, credentialing, and paid pathways
  • Community benefit agreements
  • Fisheries modernization and selective gear
  • Regenerative seaweed and shellfish supply chains
  • Remediation of legacy farm sites
03

Wild Salmon
Abundance

  • Priority watershed restoration and resilience
  • Science-based rebuilding targets
  • Indigenous stewardship and co-management
  • Transparent monitoring and open data
  • Growing the wild salmon economy: recreational, commercial, tourism
