Those are the predictions of the Food and Agriculture Organization, the FAO. On the global scale, aquaculture, to a certain extent, is compensating for the depletion of fish stocks. This is not a matter of competition, but simply that there is a market for seafood, but almost everywhere the fisheries are in decline. Aquaculture therefore is a solution.
We believe that aquaculture is going to develop and Quebec must be part and parcel of its growth. In Quebec, marine aquaculture has been developing only in the last fifteen years. Of course, this industry can only develop in small craft harbours. In fact, aquaculture could develop in and around dock areas. Without harbour infrastructure, this will be very difficult.
