B.C. Fraser River Sockeye Salmon Fishery Certified by MSC
The Fraser River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) fishery in British Columbia (BC) has earned Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification having been independently assessed by an accredited certifier and found to meet the MSC standard for sustainably managed fisheries.
The Fraser River sockeye salmon fishery was assessed against the Marine Stewardship Council’s robust, environmental standard for the certification of wild capture fisheries. The Fraser River fishery joins three other B.C. sockeye salmon fisheries, the Skeena River, Nass River and Barkley Sound, that recently received MSC certification.
The fishery is managed by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). Also involved with the process is the Fraser River Panel, a group comprised of government, First Nations, and recreational and commercial interests from both the United States and Canada.
The Pacific Salmon Commission, a body independent of government, provides scientific advice to the Fraser River Panel and to DFO regarding run size, stock identification, timing of returns and migration conditions.
The Fraser River sockeye salmon fishery operates within British Columbia and Canadian Pacific Exclusive Economic Zone waters. Salmon are harvested by drift and setnet gillnets, purse seine, beach seine and trolling.
Fraser River sockeye salmon are sold fresh in North America, frozen in Japan and Europe and canned primarily in the UK.

2010 - 150 Years of British Fish and Chips
2010 is the 150th anniversary of fish and chips in the U.K. The nation celebrates its tradition annually with its national Fish & Chip Shop of the Year competition. The Fish & Chip Shop of the Year competition has been going for 22 years.
Since the beginning of the competition, fish and chip shops have changed dramatically, with many now offering different varieties of fish such as pollack, coley, and hake.
Modern frying methods and state of the art frying ranges have helped make fish and chips one of the healthiest takeaway meals. According to Seafish of the UK, state of the art fish and chip shops offer meals containing less salt, a third less calories and over 40 per cent less fat than other takeaways.

Smoked Salmon Dip
This is a simple and delicious recipe for smoked salmon dip or spread. This recipe works equally well when substituting fresh or frozen salmon for the smoked product.
Ingredients
4 oz smoked salmon
2 oz cream cheese
2 tablespoons mayo or sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
optional - diced fresh celery, onion or jalapeno pepper to taste
Directions
1. Grill or broil salmon just until it begins to brown, remove from heat.
2. Mix cream cheese and mayo, adding just enough mayo or sour cream to thin the cream cheese. Set aside.
3. Crumble the salmon into a mixing bowl and mash with fork. Mix well.
4. Add small amounts of the cream cheese mixture, using only enough to act as a binder. Add the cilantro and any optional ingredients.
5. Serve immediately on toast or crackers or cover and chill for later use.

Aquaculture Funding Creates Canadian Jobs
On February 5, 2010 Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), reported on the success of the Aquaculture Innovation and Market Access Program (AIMAP).
The goal of the Aquaculture Innovation and Market Access Program (AIMAP) is to improve the competitiveness and market value of the Canadian aquaculture industry by encouraging an aquaculture sector that continuously develops and adopts innovative technologies and management techniques to enhance its global competitiveness and environmental performance.
This year, DFO funded 19 projects to a total of $2.3 million in Canada’s four Atlantic Provinces through AIMAP, part of the $9 million AIMAP has committed to the Canadian aquaculture industry over the last two years. For the next three years, AIMAP will be committing an additional $14.1 million in funding.

Choosing Freshwater Trout and Char for the Table
 |
| Arctic char |
Some trout and char are anadromous; they are spawned in rivers and streams, then migrate to the ocean, returning to freshwater only to spawn.
Arctic char are beautiful fish are found in both freshwater and saltwater in Arctic, sub-Arctic and alpine lakes and coastal waters. Char are found in the Canadian Arctic, the United Kingdom, Northern Europe, Scandinavia and Russia. Other names for this fish include, charr, goletst, iqaluk or tariungmiutaq.
Brook trout are gray, with patterns of red, yellow and orange, topped off with cream spots and white tipped fins. They are typically smaller than other trout. Brook trout are typically 7-12 inches in length, but sometimes reach sizes of 18 inches or more.
Brown trout vary in color from silvery with few spots and a white belly, to the typical brown fading to creamy white on the fish's belly, with medium-sized spots surrounded by lighter coloration. The silver forms of brown trout are sometimes mistaken for rainbow trout. Brown trout are native to Europe and Asia but has been stocked successfully in the North America and other regions. Sea trout (S. trutta morpha trutta) are fish of the same species that adopt an anadromous lifestyle. Brown trout art is very popular, both in its native countries as well as in North American culture.
Lake trout are another freshwater trout, belonging to the salmonine genus; distinct from the "true" trout and salmon. Lake trout have small, light, irregular shaped spots on a silvery-to-dark background although color can vary considerably depending on seasons and local conditions. Male and female lake trout are similar, with males having a slightly longer and more pointed snout. Lake trout can be distinguished from other char species by the absence of pink spots and their deeply forked tail. They average one to three pounds, but occasionally exceed 25 pounds.
Rainbow trout are one of the most respected and sought after game fish of North America. These colorful trout are native to western North America from the Aleutian Islands to northern Mexico, but have been widely introduced to waters throughout North America and the rest of the world. A typical life cycle of this species begins with a stream for spawning followed by a larger body of water for maturation. The flesh of rainbow trout which has a distinctive flavor is often cooked with head and fins intact, which makes for an appealing presentation.
