Aquaculture Innovation and Market Access Program

The overall goal of the Aquaculture Innovation and Market Access Program (AIMAP) is to catalyze aquaculture industry investment from the private sector, as well as other sectors, that will:

• Improve the competitiveness of the Canadian aquaculture industry by encouraging an aquaculture sector that continuously develops and adopts innovative technologies and management techniques to enhance its global competitiveness and environmental performance; and
• Position Canadian aquaculture products as having high value in the market place based on their environmental performance, traceability and other considerations.

The AIMAP is a nationally competitive process with calls for proposals issued on an annual basis, and based on priorities established in consultation with provinces, territories and sector stakeholders.  The program will focus on short duration projects with demonstrable industry-wide benefits implemented by the end of the project.
