A Canadian group of First Nations Chiefs and delegates from Vancouver Island recently joined staff from Marine Harvest and Grieg Seafood to attend Norway’s Aquavision 2008 and visit numerous aquaculture facilities. “The purpose of the trip was to share information about global aquaculture and to visit the birthplace of salmon farming,” says Ian Roberts of Marine Harvest. Veteran commercial fisherman James Walkus was one of the guests on the tour. “I found it very fascinating,” said Walkus. “Their science efforts, of studying the Atlantic salmon, was very good. It is truly remarkable how much effort they put into fish farming to make it a success in their country.”
