      Research Award of Excellence

      The Research Award of Excellence recognizes high quality, innovative, and current research that has had a significant impact on the aquaculture industry in Canada. Any individual or group engaged in aquaculture-related research in Canada will be eligible to receive the Research Award of Excellence.

      This year we are requesting that nominations for the Research Award of Excellence be emailed to aquacultureawards@gmail.com by Friday, February 23, 2024. There is no set format for nominations. Letters should indicate why this person/group should receive the award, detailing how their research contributions have benefited the industry, academia and/or the public sector as appropriate. Letters of support from academia, industry, students, etc. will also be considered.

      Lifetime Achievement Award

      The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes an individual who best exemplifies the aims and objectives of the Association. Individuals are recognized for their outstanding contribution to the Association and to the aquaculture sector in Canada. Any former or current individual AAC member engaged in aquaculture-related activities in Canada will be eligible to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award.

      The Lifetime Achievement Award will be awarded again at the Aquaculture Canada 2025 conference. Congratulations to our last recipient, Dr. Thierry Chopin!
