Recovery of Canadian aquaculture industry in 2021, increased production and value
Sales of aquaculture products and services rose 28.1% from the previous year to $1.4 billion in 2021, as the food service and hospitality industries began to recover amid the easing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in certain jurisdictions. This growth in sales was primarily because of increased finfish and shellfish production, as well as higher national prices for finfish products.
