The Middle Bay Sustainable Aquaculture Institute, a Canadian nonprofit organization, was established to examine and assist in the development of closed-containment salmon rearing technologies. The institute’s marine site for research in Discovery Passage in the Campbell River, British Columbia, was licensed in conjunction with the Middle Bay Limited Partnership for closed-containment salmon aquaculture.

The Middle Bay Project will demonstrate a new marine-based commercially adaptable technology that will offer the socio-economic benefits of fish farming without many of the negative environmental issues associated with traditional net cage fish farms. The completed tank will be stocked with Chinook salmon fingerlings.
