A new family-based breeding programme that aims to improve the performance of farmed Arctic char has been launched in Canada this week.
The programme has been agreed between the genetics research company the Center for Aquaculture Technologies (CAT) and char farmer Icy Waters Ltd (IWL).
 

Based in Canada’s Yukon Territory, Icy Waters was established in 1985 and quickly became a world leader in Arctic char aquaculture.
