Aquaculture Research: Tracking released farmed salmon

This video features Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) scientist Dr. Dounia Hamoutene and her research team as they conduct research under DFO’s Program for Aquaculture Regulatory Research (PARR) as part of a 3-year study to track experimentally released farmed salmon in Newfoundland and Labrador to study where they go and what they do. This research is feeding into a larger research initiative in Atlantic Canada to explore the genetic interactions between wild and farmed salmon in efforts to better understand the risks and improve the overall sustainability of the industry.
