Canada

Overview

According to FAO production data, Canada’s marine finfish production was dominated by Atlantic salmon production in 2007, making it the fourth-largest producer of Atlantic salmon globally. Canada’s GAPI score is a weighted average of east and west coast Atlantic salmon production (40% and 60% of total production, respectively). Canada’s normalised performance score (70) is well above the average country score (59). Canada’s score drops to 64 when accounting for scale of production (i.e., cumulative score), reflecting the relatively large size of its Atlantic salmon industry.
