Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Western Walleye Ltd
$75,000.00
Scale Up of growout operations
FY 2024-25 · 2024-06-01
Summary
Western Walleye Ltd. Is building the first recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) in Canada. There is strong market potential for high-value walleye products with the closure of the commercial walleye fishery in Alberta and other provinces.
This project will investigate lowering the cost of aquaculture production of walleye, primarily as it relates to feeding costs. The project will also see the establishment of a walleye spawning operation to generate fresh fingerlings for grow out. Finally, we will begin to introduce our product to potential buyers to determine probable price points and quality requirements.

Description (French)
Western Walleye Ltd. construit le premier système d’aquaculture en recirculation (SAR) au Canada. La fermeture de la pêche commerciale au doré en Alberta et dans d’autres provinces a créé un fort potentiel de marché pour les produits de grande valeur à base de doré. Ce projet vise à réduire le coût de la production aquacole du doré, principalement en ce qui concerne les coûts d’alimentation. Le projet prévoit également la mise en place d’une opération de frai du doré afin de produire des alevins frais pour le grossissement. Enfin, nous commencerons à présenter notre produit à des acheteurs potentiels afin de déterminer les prix probables et les exigences de qualité.
