From a very early time.... When Norway started salmon farming in the 1960s, it was started as a response to the decline of wild stocks. They were seeing communities throughout Norway really struggling with a lot of poverty, and they started experimenting with salmon farming. They found that this was bringing communities back to life. The country got behind salmon farming.
In Canada, as I said in my comments, we actually don't have any federal legislation that even mentions the word “aquaculture” or “seafood farming”, for instance. We have not had the leadership in this country to embrace the future of seafood production, which is both wild and farmed.
