2011 Production: Finfish: 123,567 tonnes and 763 M $ by value
Shellfish: 38,646 tonnes and 74 M $ by value
Production of Finfish
Methods:
Juveniles: land-based hatchery facilities (flow-
through and recirculation);
Grow-out: saltwater net pens, some land-based
systems;
Broodstock: land-based (flow through and
recirculation)
Methods:
- Juveniles: land-based hatchery facilities (flow-
through and recirculation)
- Grow-Out: freshwater net pens, saltwater net
pens (for Steelhead culture), land-based raceways,
and ponds
- Broodstock: land-based (flow-through and
recirculation)

Production of Shellfish
Methods:
Ocean floor beds or off-floor suspension
(holding bags, cages, trays or rope lines)
Methods:
- Seed collection from the wild (method mostly
used on the East Coast) or procured from
hatcheries (method mostly used on the West
Coast),
-followed by grow-out to market size in mussel
socks suspended from long-line systems (ropes)
or rafts.

Effects of Salmon aquaculture on
HABs?
Finfish farming primarily increase
organic matter sedimentation
Influence nutrient regeneration
Increase dissolved nutrients (N:60%, P:12)
& influence seaweed growth
Create eutrophication which ultimately
influence HABs
There is no evidence for direct links between HABs
and salmon aquaculture found in Canada

Eutrophication status in Canada
 In Canada total phosphorus
concentrations were found to be high
 The majority of phosphorus found in
suspended sediment
 TP and TDP have increases between
1990 and 2006, where TDP is the form
that is readily available for take up by
plants.
 70% of the study sites with high levels
of TP (eutrophic and hypereutrophic)
were located in the Arctic and Nelson
River basins.
Status of phosphorus in the water bodies
across Canada (2004-06)
Hydrography-Aquaculture in lakes
 Controlled by:
 Agricultural run-off
 Runoff from urban
expansion
 Sedimentation
 Less tidal circulation
 Water residence time
> flushing time
Hydrography-Aquaculture in open
sea
 High tidal exchange
 Plankton can not stay
in a certain place for
long time
 Residence time of
water is very low

Sound, British Columbia
Monitoring strategies for HABs
 Biotoxin tests are carried out for:
 Saxitoxins(since the mid 1960's)
 Domoic acid by Canadian Food Inspection Agency
 Establishment of Harmful Algae Monitoring Program (HAMP) in 1999 to address the
devastating effect of harmful algae on farmed fish.
 Phycotoxins Working Group since 1987
 The Northcoast Plankton Identification and Monitoring Program
Steps taken afterpositive result:
 Closures of the affected area when found 80 μm saxitoxin /100 gm shellfish meat
 Systematic microscopic surveillance of water samples for early warning of HABs at
farm sites
 Isolate and culture microalgal species that are known to be harmful to cultured fish
and shellfish in BC
 Development of species-specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
assays, and creation of an image gallery and database of local harmful algae
 Carry out genomic analyses on shellfish gill tissues to determine genomic and
biological responses to HABs and to link these responses with particular algal
species.
Summary and Conclusions
 HABs (Harmful Algal Blooms) are responsible for
considerable economic losses due to cultured
finfish/shellfish mortalities in Canada.
 Toxic HABs in shellfish are a threat for human health.
 Since the mid 1980's the cumulative loss in aquacultured
salmonids of British Columbia is $35 million.
 Fish farming change the nutrient ratio which has a great
impact on the occurrence of HABs in that area.
 Water body having higher residence time are more prone
to HABs than less residence time area.
 Finally, HABs can appear independently of fish farming
activities.

Monitoring strategies for HABs  Biotoxin tests are carried out for:  Saxitoxins(since the mid 1960's)  Domoic acid by Canadian Food Inspection Agency  Establishment of Harmful Algae Monitoring Program (HAMP) in 1999 to address the devastating effect of harmful algae on farmed fish.  Phycotoxins Working Group since 1987  The Northcoast Plankton Identification and Monitoring Program Steps taken afterpositive result:  Closures of the affected area when found 80 μm saxitoxin /100 gm shellfish meat  Systematic microscopic surveillance of water samples for early warning of HABs at farm sites  Isolate and culture microalgal species that are known to be harmful to cultured fish and shellfish in BC  Development of species-specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, and creation of an image gallery and database of local harmful algae  Carry out genomic analyses on shellfish gill tissues to determine genomic and biological responses to HABs and to link these responses with particular algal species.
  • 16. Summary and Conclusions  HABs (Harmful Algal Blooms) are responsible for considerable economic losses due to cultured finfish/shellfish mortalities in Canada.  Toxic HABs in shellfish are a threat for human health.  Since the mid 1980's the cumulative loss in aquacultured salmonids of British Columbia is $35 million.  Fish farming change the nutrient ratio which has a great impact on the occurrence of HABs in that area.  Water body having higher residence time are more prone to HABs than less residence time area.  Finally, HABs can appear independently of fish farming activities.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. 2011 Aquaculture production from 8 provinces of Canada.
  2. Right side Species: Rainbow trout / Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Brown Trout (Salmo trutta), Lake trout / Lake char (Salvelinus namaycush) and Brook Trout / Speckled Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) Leftside Species: Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar), Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), and Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) A raceway, also known as a flow-through system, is an artificial channel used in aquaculture to cultureaquatic organisms. Raceway systems are among the earliest methods used for inland aquaculture. A raceway usually consists of rectangular basins or canals constructed of concrete and equipped with an inlet and outlet. A continuous water flow-through is maintained to provide the required level of water quality, which allows animals to be cultured at higher densities within the raceway
  3. Species: American or Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica), Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) Species: Eastern Blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), Western Blue mussel (Mytilus trossulus), Gallo/Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
  4. Ch. convolutus most abundant in summer.
  5. Total number of fish killing blooms in British Columbia during 2009–2012. Bar color indicates severity level of the fish killing event: light grey for low level (up to 100 fish killed), dark grey for moderate (100–1000 fish killed), and black for high (more than 1000 fish killed). > To a lesser extent the cumulative $35 million loss in aquacultured salmonids in British Columbia since the mid 1980's. Direct losses to the salmon aquaculture industry due to HABs are shown in Figure 3. During the survey period, fish mortalities were the highest in 2012 ($6.445 million CAD losses) and the lowest in 2010 ($1.912 million CAD losses). Total direct losses due to HABs in 2009–2012 comprised $16.135 million CAD.
  6. Ch. convolutus most abundant in summer. Paralytic shellfish poisoning – PSP. This is a life-threatening syndrome with neurological effects. The is no known antidote to PSPDomoic acid poisoning (DAP or Amnesic shellfish poisoning, ASP); Diarrhetic Shellfish Poison (DSP)
  7. Waste feed materials from the Pens contain approximately N 15% and 65% P. Finfish farming primarily increase organic matter sedimentation which affect the benthic community and decrease diversity 2. 3. 4. Make the water more eutrophic which can ultimately influence HABs and finally affect the salmon production through sudden death
  8. Concentration levels of total phosphorus (TP) and ratios of total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) to TP in rivers and the Great Lakes, Canada, 2004 to 2006. Based on median values.  Across Canada, up to 102 stations in rivers and 7 Great-Lakes basins were used to measure concentrations of total phosphorus and total dissolved phosphorus between 1990 and 2006 in order to determine the recent status and trends related to nutrients in aquatic ecosystems.
  9. Due to the abundance of food, the lakes have a high potential for fish production. However, some of the lakes develop winter anoxia causing fish mortalities, i.e., winter kill, the gradual depletion of dissolved oxygen in water column under ice and snow cover obstructing penetration of light for photosynthesis and production of oxygen by algae in the absence of aeration through the lake surface. Other lakes undergo collapses of their algal blooms during summer, resulting in oxygen depletion and fish death, i.e., summer kill (see Hypereutrophy above).
  10. The first observations of chlorophyll fluorescence from space for the west coast of Canada, using the U.S. moderate resolution imaging spectrometer (MODIS), show that the signals should provide a useful new tool for studying chlorophyll biomass and primary productivity. MODIS, a third generation sensor for oceanic satellite observations Especially bands 8 to16 in the 405–877 nm spectral region are specifically designed for studying ocean color, phytoplankton concentration as well as biogeochemistry [31]. Compared with SeaWiFS, the primary advantage of MODIS is that the particularly designed fluorescence band (676 nm) can be used to detect HABs based on a fluorescence line height (FLH) calculation for the coastal optically-complex water, the optical spectra of which is dominated by CDOM
  11. Ever since monitoring of shellfish for the presence of toxins began in 1942, following a severe outbreak with fatalities in B.C. and adjacent Washington State, PSP has been recorded primarily in filter-feeding shellfish on the coast
  12. Harmful algal bloom (HAB) events can be very bad for us. People who eat shellfish from waters experiencing toxic blooms can become very ill and can even die.
