Sockeye salmon became the most sold (jan 1, 1990 – dec 31, 1999)

Description:

Aquaculture production quadruples over 20 years and accounts for 20 per cent of total Canadian fisheries production and one-third of its value. In 2009, the federally appointed Cohen Commission investigates the 18-year decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon, Canada’s largest run. The commission recommends prohibiting fish farming in the Discovery Islands and changing the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ mandate so it’s not responsible for both promoting salmon farming as an industry and protecting wild salmon.
