The sense in growing fish on an ocean farm

Meet Greg Foreman, site manager for two of Cermaq Canada’s fish farms.

Greg starts his mornings with one important factor – his job puts a smile on his face every single day.

The work day starts with checking the water conditions of the fish environment. The environmental analysis includes checking for oxygen levels, water temperatures, salinity and checking for plankton. After that is done, Greg will grade the feedings. The health and well being of each fish matters to Greg Foreman and he is proud of what he does.

“The certifications holds up to the standards of what the public expects, it is how we gain the trust of our customers.”
