Are there recreational opportunities to catch cultured fish?
Yes. There are recreational or “U-Fish” operations operating in Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and some Atlantic provinces. The fish are raised in dugouts, ponds or even small lakes. This form of fishing is common in Europe and the coastal areas of North America. In Canada, these sites are regulated and licensed by the province in which they operate. U-fish farmers must comply with environmental, animal welfare and food-safety legislation under provincial and federal law.
