Char Canada

Farmed Arctic char, or Arctic charr, is a thriving and sustainable industry in Canada, particularly in regions where cold water is abundant. This species is well-suited to aquaculture in Canada's northern waters, making it an ideal choice for both economic and environmental reasons. The farming of Arctic char is still relatively young in Canada, but the industry is diverse, with operators producing both eggs and mature fish. These eggs are exported to countries eager to develop their own charr industries, while the meat is sold both domestically and internationally, contributing to the economic growth of remote and First Nations communities.

Farming of Arctic char in Canada is a promising and growing sector that supports both economic and social development, particularly in northern and remote regions. With continued research and sustainable practices, the future of Arctic char farming in Canada looks optimistic and full of potential.
