SEAFOOD PROGRESS
Seafood Progress is an online resource for retailers to report on their performance around sustainable seafood commitments and procurement. It aims to aggregate retailer leverage across Canada to drive further improvements to fisheries and aquaculture practices, both in Canada and abroad.AQUACULTURE METHODS
Suspended-aquaculture: Farmers grow shellfish on beaches or suspend them in water on ropes, plastic trays or in mesh bags. The shellfish farmed using these methods are filter feeders and require only clean water to thrive. Oysters, scallops, mussels and clams are cultured using suspension systems.

Do you know where your seafood’s been? The origin of seafood caught around the world is often unknown – and that should change. Canada’s current labelling system doesn’t require producers to tell consumers where their seafood was caught or farmed. In fact, Canadian-produced seafood is often sold as a product of another country because it’s processed there. ECO-CERTIFICATIONS, RANKINGS AND CLAIMS Eco-certifications can have the added benefit of third-party traceability or chain-of-custody systems. The most prominent global eco-certification programs are the Marine Stewardship Council ( MSC) for wild fisheries, and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council ( ASC) for farmed seafood.

WILD FISH IN FEED
Every year, millions of tonnes of wild ‘forage’ fish like anchovies, herring and sardines are caught and processed into fishmeal and fish oil for farm-raised species (mostly aquacultured species, but also poultry and pigs). In fact, nearly 70 per cent of forage fish caught are converted to feed. It is estimated that 90 per cent of thefish

Sobeys is committed to not selling “any seafood species that have major sustainability issues associated with them”. This means it avoids sourcing species listed as endangered or critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), seafood sourced from high-risk fisheries that are not engaged in an improvement project, or products from suppliers known to ATLANTIC SALMON (FARMED BRITISH COLUMBIA) A recommendation to add endangered Fraser River sockeye to Canada’s Species at Risk Act ( SARA) has been made.

Some are used passively (fixed, allowing fish and other animals to swim into them), while others are used actively (mobile, dragged through the water).LOBLAW - SEACHOICE

Do you know where your seafood’s been? The origin of seafood caught around the world is often unknown – and that should change. Canada’s current labelling system doesn’t require producers to tell consumers where their seafood was caught or farmed. In fact, Canadian-produced seafood is often sold as a product of another country because it’s processed there. DISEASE, PARASITES AND CHEMICALS Disease, Parasites and Chemicals. Farming systems that release untreated discharge into marine or freshwater ecosystems can pose a serious threat to wild fish, by transferring disease and parasites. In Canada, open-net pen farming exists for salmon, trout, and small amounts of sablefish. Most of the known impacts of disease transferinto wild
WILD FISH IN FEED
Every year, millions of tonnes of wild ‘forage’ fish like anchovies, herring and sardines are caught and processed into fishmeal and fish oil for farm-raised species (mostly aquacultured species, but also poultry and pigs). In fact, nearly 70 per cent of forage fish caught are converted to feed. It is estimated that 90 per cent of thefish

It is common for aquaculture operations, such as open-net pens and shrimp ponds, to be located in coastal areas. These locations are usually prime nursery, shelter and feeding grounds for marine species, many of which are also importantCONTACT - SEACHOICE
