In the past ten years,
aquaculture has emerged as
an increasingly important
supplier of fish and other
aquatic products in Canada
and has become one of the
fastest growing food
production industries.
Increased awareness of the
nutritional benefits of eating
fish and seafood and its role in
reducing the risk of chronic
illness has meant that more
people are adding fish to their
diet.

Rainbow trout has a mild,
nut-like flavour; the flesh is
pink or orange. The skin of
the rainbow trout should be
dark, shiny and have a
slippery feel.
Rainbow trout comes in a
variety of product forms and
is easy to prepare. It has a
high oil content and large
flake which enables it to
stand up to grilling and most
sauces. At the same time
its delicate taste and silky
texture make it a natural
choice for simple
preparations. Smoked
rainbow trout can be used in
dips and salads. For
complete preparation hints,
visit Agriculture and
Agri-Food Canada's
Factsheet on Rainbow Trout.
For additional health and
nutrition information see
Canadian Aquaculture
Industry Alliance's Trout
page.
Foodland Ontario says
"Trout is an excellent source
of protein and iron, a good
source of niacin and
riboflavin (B2), and a source
of thiamine (B) and Vitamin
C." Also from Foodland

Many studies have suggested that a diet rich in fish is good for
the heart. Now there is new evidence that such a diet may ward
off dementia as well. One of the largest efforts to document a
connection - and the first such study undertaken in the
developing world - has found that older adults in Asia and Latin
America were less likely to develop dementia if they regularly
consumed fish. For the full article by Roni Caryn Rabin published

The Northern Ontario Aquaculture Association recently
participated in the Farmed Seafood Extravaganza organized
by the Canadian Aquaculture Industry Alliance at the
renowned Starfish Oyster Bed & Grill in Toronto.
The event followed NOAA's meeting with the Honourable Donna
Cansfield - Minister of Natural Resources to roll out our new
Provincial Strategy for Sustainable Aquaculture in Ontario. NOAA
attended this event, providing product for the chef to prepare a
new recipe. We were very pleased when Minister Cansfield and
staff took the time to attend the Seafood Roadshow event and
show their support for our aquaculture industry including
interviews with various media.
This event is the first of a series of Farmed Seafood Roadshows
that will be held across Canada to heighten the awareness of
Canadian aquaculture.
Congratulations to CAIA for the organization of a successful
event!
