Recently, despite the dye-off, there have been lots of support for aquaculture on the South Coast of Newfoundland.

Many people are not supported on the beze coast for the aquatic agricultural industry.

Aquaculture companies and service providers create hundreds of jobs on rural south coast communities of Newfoundland, and the industry is getting credit for running the economy.

“It produces a lot of jobs,” said Roy Drake, deputy mayor of Harbor Bretton.

“We still have our insurance fisheries and we have our own crab, and we have our lobster … but the bottom line is Aquaculture that now supports it. And so we have to protect it and hope for the best with it.”

The aquaculture industry was established in the area over 20 years ago, and has been a major employer since then. But it has not come without issues.

In 2019, Aquaculture giant Movi reported that 2.6 million dead fish had to be removed at its various sites in southern Newfoundland. And at the end of last month, About 400,000 fish were reported dead After an incident in Movi’s pen near Harbor Bretton.

Movie Canada East stated that a rush of deep, cold, low oxygen seawater for the ocean surface of the warm-water is known as a thermocline-inverted-a port Breton killed about 400,000 cultivated salmon in the Breetan Aquaculture operation.

Despite the dye-off, Drake said there is still a lot of confidence in the industry.

“I think the industry may still grow,” he said.

“Like any industry, there is hiccup on the way. This industry is very important for this community, for this region, and in my belief, for the province. It is difficult to understand how big this industry is really. But once you talk to people and suppliers and they fully understand how big it is.”

Fabian Manning Junior understands how big aquaculture is on and beyond the south coast. He is the owner of Harbor Breton-based, 360 Marine Limited, which provides services and assistance to the maritime and aquaculture industry.

“Without aquaculture in the coast without a bez, it would be a dark looking place,” Maning, which has been in business for more than a decade, said.

“It’s not that some people probably will still not be able to work here, but most people have to find elsewhere to survive and call home.”

The company works in Atlantic Canada, but out of 200 employees, Maning said that most of the aquaculture is dedicated to service. He knows that the industry is struggling with public perception.

“This goods occur in many industries that cultivate animals or crops,” he said. “These kinds of things happen. Fortunately, I am able to travel around the world and see aquaculture in many countries and continents. And this is something that happens.

“It just feels that the aquaculture, when it is accessible, gets much more attention than the death of some fish, as it is in the poultry industry or any other type … animal livestock farming.”

Maning said he looks at the ability of more aquaculture projects in the region, and is hoping that the notion of the industry will change, and the rural will work for generations coming in Newfoundland.

He said, “Every industry is negative and positive and we all need to work together … which is right, not only for the economy, (but) to the environment, and for our province to ensure that we can move forward,” he said. “Nobody is getting to fight against each other.”

Mowi will not conduct an interview about Canada’s pre -death.

A spokesperson of the company said that the live salmon was expected to be harvested after the latest incident this week.
