Samantha Hartley

I am a Broodstock Technician with Mowi Canada West. I grew up in a small town in New Brunswick. I went to NBCC St. Andrews, where I took an aquaculture technician course. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work on the ocean, and aquaculture was the perfect opportunity to do so. I am lucky to have worked on this coast for about 8 years and 2 years on the east coast working for Mowi Canada East. I have also gotten the opportunity to travel to Mowi operations in Scotland and see how it compares to ours here in Canada. I have worked in every department of salmon farming within our company. From the hatchery to the processing plant, I have experienced it all. My daily responsibilities consist of water quality, fish husbandry, and, in general, helping to care for our fish and farm. Broodstock is an interesting place to be and is my favourite because we get to do more intricate work more frequently than at a normal site. I plan to be in this industry for a long time, if not for the rest of my working career.
