ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR, Feb 20, 2008 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- The Honourable Loyola Hearn, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, today announced that Canada will provide an in-kind contribution of $800,000 this year to the Salmon At Sea science program that is managed by the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization.
"I'm proud that Canada is making such a significant contribution to international scientific research in this area," said Minister Hearn. "We need to help identify the factors that cause Atlantic salmon to die when they migrate through ocean waters so we can put the necessary measures in place to reduce at-sea mortality of future stocks."
