Fish farming takes centre stage this week in St. John’s at the Cold Harvest Conference and Trade Show.
Aquaculture is big business in this province, especially on the south coast where it provides about 2,500 jobs.
Dr. Ken Coates of the University of Saskatchewan will deliver the keynote on Wednesday. He will talk about environmental activism, marine science and the economics of coastal communities.
Other topics include farmed fish and nutrition, the use of AI in aquaculture, and advancements in the industry.
The event takes place at the Sheraton Tuesday through Thursday.
