Shellfish and finfish transfers to and from British Columbia aquaculture sites

Shellfish and finfish transfers to and from British Columbia aquaculture sites Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) issues licences under Section 56 of the Fishery (General) Regulations to authorize the intentional release and transfer of live aquatic organisms into fish-bearing waters or fish-rearing facilities. The federal-provincial Introductions and Transfers Committee (ITC) reviews applications to assess risks for possible disease, ecological and genetic effects on native species and ecosystems. When issuing a licence, the ITC may also prescribe certain measures to minimize risks associated with transfer activities, such as egg disinfection or quarantine of stock. DFO regulates the aquaculture industry in British Columbia so that the introduction and transfer of fish and shellfish into and between facilities does not adversely affect local aquatic species and habitats. Introductions and transfers of fish to and from aquaculture facilities may be required to introduce new stock, facilitate growth of the fish at different life stages or optimize the production capabilities of facilities. 2023-07-13 Fisheries and Oceans Canada DFO.PAC.AquacultureData-Donneesdaquaculture.PAC.MPO@dfo-mpo.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentFisheries and Oceans CanadaPacific regionAquaculturefish farmingshellfishfinfishintroductions and transferstransporting fishBritish Columbia Shellfish transfers to and from BC aquaculture sites, 2011 to 2017CSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/27dfcbf6-d320-4afc-9d0c-3d5df107dbe6/attachments/trans-mer-mar-2011-2017-rpt-pac-dfo-mpo-aquaculture-eng.csv Shellfish transfers to and from BC aquaculture sites, 2011 to 2017CSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/27dfcbf6-d320-4afc-9d0c-3d5df107dbe6/attachments/trans-shellfish-mollusques-2011-2017-rpt-pac-dfo-mpo-aquaculture-fra.csv Shellfish transfers to and from BC aquaculture sitesCSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/27dfcbf6-d320-4afc-9d0c-3d5df107dbe6/attachments/trans-shellfish-mollusques-2011-2017-def-pac-dfo-mpo-aquaculture-eng.csv Shellfish transfers to and from BC aquaculture sitesCSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/27dfcbf6-d320-4afc-9d0c-3d5df107dbe6/attachments/trans-shellfish-mollusques-2011-2017-def-pac-dfo-mpo-aquaculture-fra.csv Finfish transfers to and from BC aquaculture sites, 2011 to 2017CSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/27dfcbf6-d320-4afc-9d0c-3d5df107dbe6/attachments/trans-mer-mar-2011-2017-rpt-pac-dfo-mpo-aquaculture-eng.csv Finfish transfers to and from BC aquaculture sites, 2011 to 2017CSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/27dfcbf6-d320-4afc-9d0c-3d5df107dbe6/attachments/trans-mer-mar-2011-2017-rpt-pac-dfo-mpo-aquaculture-fra.csv Finfish transfers to and from BC aquaculture sitesCSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/27dfcbf6-d320-4afc-9d0c-3d5df107dbe6/attachments/trans-mer-mar-2011-2017-def-pac-dfo-mpo-aquaculture-eng.csv Finfish transfers to and from BC aquaculture sitesCSV https://api-proxy.edh.azure.cloud.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/27dfcbf6-d320-4afc-9d0c-3d5df107dbe6/attachments/trans-mer-mar-2011-2017-def-pac-dfo-mpo-aquaculture-fra.csv
