Canada's freshwater aquaculture sector consists of more than 700 operations that produce more than 10,000 metric tonnes of output annually with a farm-gate value of approximately $70 million.  Globally, Canada ranks a distant 13th in total freshwater trout and char output; however, given our natural resource base and other strategic advantages, this level of output is not commensurate with the opportunity, or potential, that exists.  Growth in the sector has been forestalled due largely to concerns regarding the environmental and social sustainability of aquaculture.  Therefore, any expansion in the Canadian freshwater aquaculture sector is dependent upon the development of knowledge, technologies and practices to address and resolve such challenges.In 2001, university, government and producers stakeholders launched the Inter-Provincial Collaborative R&D Initiative for Sustainable Freshwater Aquaculture to promote coordinated efforts in applied research, development and commercialization (RDC) to advance the sector.  The Initiative's first Industry Action Plan, in 2002, focused largely on nutrition.  In 2004, priorities were re-evaluated and a second Industry Action Plan was developed with a renewed focus on nutrition but with the addition of waste management, farm management and environmental carrying capacity.  More than $1.9 million in RDC projects were delivered through these first two Action Plans.In 2006, the Initiative became a registered not-for-profit organization - the Inter-Provincial Partnership for Sustainable Freshwater Aquaculture Development (IPSFAD). Recently, the IPSFAD coordinated five 1-day workshops across Canada to solicit input regarding RDC initiatives most pertinent to industry development and resulted in a Third Industry Action Plan that will serve as a coordinating instrument for sustainable freshwater aquaculture development. The proposed workshop looks to build on the identified industry priorities to evaluate the feasibility of estabishing a Strategic Research Network to address industry R&D needs.

加拿大的淡水水产养殖部门由700多个业务组成，年产量超过10,000公吨，农场总产值约为7,000万美元。在全球范围内，加拿大在淡水鳟鱼和鲑鱼总产量上排名第13位；然而，鉴于我们的自然资源基础和其他战略优势，这种产出水平与存在的机会或潜力不相称。由于对水产养殖的环境和社会可持续性的担忧，该部门的增长一直处于停滞状态。因此，加拿大淡水水产养殖部门的任何扩张都取决于知识、技术和实践的发展，以应对和解决这些挑战。2001年，大学、政府和生产者利益相关者发起了省际可持续淡水水产养殖合作研发倡议，以促进应用研究、开发和商业化（RDC）方面的协调努力，推动该部门的发展。2002年，该倡议的第一个行业行动计划主要关注营养问题。2004年，重新评估了优先事项，并制定了第二项工业行动计划，重新将重点放在营养上，但增加了废物管理、农场管理和环境承载能力。通过前两个行动计划交付了190多万美元的RDC项目。2006年，该倡议成为一个注册的非营利组织——省际淡水水产养殖可持续发展伙伴关系（IPSFAD）。最近，农业可持续发展基金在加拿大各地协调了5个为期1天的讲习班，就与工业发展最相关的区域发展倡议征求意见，并产生了第三产业行动计划，该计划将作为可持续淡水水产养殖发展的协调工具。拟议的研讨会着眼于在确定的行业优先事项的基础上，评估建立一个战略研究网络以解决行业研发需求的可行性。
