Statement on GMO salmon

Salmon farmers in B.C. are proud to produce the healthiest and freshest salmon in the world. They do not farm or sell GMO salmon, nor are they researching or considering the possibility of raising transgenic fish. Members of the BCSFA have no plans to change farming practices, which already produce the highest quality fresh salmon in high demand in Canada and abroad. We are committed to sustainability and responsible best practices and a science based management approach.

About the BC Salmon Farmers Association:

B.C. salmon farmers grow 58% of all salmon raised in Canada and account for 60% of the total landed value of seafood in British Columbia, generating more than $1.14-billion towards the provincial economy. The BCSFA represents the province’s vibrant and diversified salmon aquaculture sector, inclusive of companies raising salmon, as well as the businesses that proudly provide services and supplies.
