Catching the wave of emerging opportunity
Canada is known as one of the best fishing and aquaculture environments in the world. Catches continue to rank among the largest globally, and export demand has spiked. Yet the Canadian oceans hold an even greater promise—emerging opportunity.
To harness this potential, businesses need to tackle a raft of challenges specific to fishing and aquaculture. Invasive species threaten the catch. Licences have dramatically increased in value. Quotas have shrunk. And regulation restricts opportunity if not managed properly. Business strategy never rests for either fishing or aquaculture.

Building on close ties with the industry nationwide, command of Department of Fisheries and Oceans regulations, and mastery of tax law, our professionals help fishing and aquaculture enterprises acquire, finance, and operate their businesses to protect and grow their financial bottom line.
