CCFI is a facilitator for innovation in the seafood industry. We work with stakeholders across the country and with various sizes and types of operations, including harvesting, processing, and aquaculture. Our goal is to help all innovators and problem solvers enhance Canada's place as a world leader in the burgeoning Blue Economy.

SECTORS WE SERVE

HARVESTING SECTOR

Canada's harvesting sector has thrived for over 200 years; operating off the coasts of a country that has the longest coastline in the world and some of the most plentiful freshwater resources.

AQUACULTURE

Today, more than half the world seafood is produced from sea farming. Global aquaculture production reached a record 122.6 million tonnes, with a total value of $281.5 billion

FISH PROCESSING

Seafood processing in Canada takes place mostly in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador, contributing nearly $2B in economic activity to the Atlantic region and supporting nearly 25,300 jobs.
