The Canadian Aquaculture Industry Alliance (CAIA) is urging the Canadian government to increase aquaculture production by 35% by 2030, in line with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's 'Blue Transformation' roadmap to combat global hunger. Despite the industry contributing $3.86 billion to the economy and providing over 14,500 jobs, production levels have stagnated.
