The incubation and development of Lake Whitefish for commercial purposes in the Collège Boréal laboratory

本研究的两个主要目标将是在Collège Boréal的自然资源孵化场中孵化野生白鱼卵并将其培育成鱼种大小。2015年秋季，白鱼鱼苗将被运送到安大略省马尼图林岛Open Water Systems Ltd的水产养殖网箱。该公司将在他们的近海养鱼设备中饲养白鱼，直到它们在2016年秋季投放市场。到目前为止，蛋的孵化、鱼苗和鱼种的饲养只是出于放养目的，还没有在加拿大的实验室环境中进行商业使用。通过合作，该公司将拥有一套生产白鱼湖鱼苗的程序，以供应一个日益壮大的商业养鱼场。

The two main objectives in the present study will be to incubate wild Lake Whitefish eggs and raise them to fingerling size in the natural resources hatchery at Collège Boréal. In the fall f 2015, the Lake Whitefish fingerlings will be transported to the aquaculture cages of Open Water Systems Ltd on Manitoulin Island, Ontario. The company will raise the Lake Whitefish in their offshore fish farming equipment until they are harvested for market in the fall of 2016. To date, the egg incubation, fry and fingerling rearing has only been accomplished for stocking purposes, and has yet to be attempted in a laboratory setting for commercial use in Canada. Through the partnership, the company will have a procedure for producing Lake Whitefish fingerlings to supply a grow-out commercial fish farm.
