ABOUT THE ONTARIO AQUACULTURE ASSOCIATION
The Ontario Aquaculture Association (OAA) was created by industry to foster growth, innovation and partnerships across the province’s thriving seafood farming sector.
By production and volume, we represent more than 95% of the aquaculture industry in Ontario, including finfish and shrimp growers, land-based and open net-pen operations, seafood for food or recreational fishing, feed suppliers and other companies invested in growing healthy, sustainable protein here in Ontario.
