Aquaculture: farming the waters invites you on a journey to discover how Canadian farmers produce fish, shellfish and seaweed—not only on our coasts, but across the country.

Much of the seafood we consume today comes from carefully managed fish farms. Uncover Canadian innovations that are helping to improve the sustainability of this growing sector.

Although many forms of seafood are still cultivated in oceans, lakes and rivers, Canadian fish farmers are also using land-based systems to raise everything from Arctic char to tilapia. They are also finding innovative ways of recycling water and other materials to reduce their environmental footprint.

Whether exploring Indigenous clam gardens, salmon farms, or the many ways in which we consume seaweed each and every day, there is something for everyone in this colourful and interactive exhibition.
