2010/11 PARR Research Priorities

For the 2010/11 Call for Proposals under the Program for Aquaculture Regulatory Research (PARR), the following targetted research priorities were identified under a number of common themes:

• Wild/farmed interations
• Environmental regulations for freshwater farm siting: environmental impacts of deposition
• Environmental carrying capacity for shellfish culture
• Evaluation of sea lice therapeutants on non-target species (exposure and effects)
• Evaluation of environmental impacts to guide HADD authorizations (HADD: harmful, disruption or destruction of fish habitat)
• Characterization of environmental impacts to hard bottom substrates
• Establishment of Bay Management Areas for site and fish health management (Development of integrated management zones for finfish and shellfish aquaculture)
