The research lab is the beating heart of the Freshwater Institute - an internationally recognised program of The Conservation Fund.
Conducting research into sustainable aquaculture, the staff at the Freshwater Institute hatch salmon eggs and grow the salmon to harvest size. The fish are sold to a West Coast seafood marketer who ships them to restaurants in Toronto and British Columbia.
