Using and interpreting aquaculture data: 7. Compliance

7. Compliance

Aquaculture public reporting data is intended to enhance transparency and accountability. However it is not:

• a measure of compliance with regulatory or other requirements
• an indication of whether a facility is in compliance with regulatory or other requirements

Some facilities may be subject to:

• other regulations or standards under federal statutes
• applicable provincial or municipal regulations or other requirements

Fisheries and Oceans Canada has multiple options for assessing compliance with our aquaculture regulatory requirements. These include:

• notifications
• industry reporting
• compliance reports
• audits
