La problématique éthique du développement de l’aquaculture industrielle au Canada : analyse mésologique d’un nouveau rapport possible à l’océan

Aquaculture development in Canada is a recent and important phenomenon. As an economic activity, aquaculture has the potential to compensate for the rapid loss of marine resources that have made the country’s reputation for centuries. But the development of aquaculture farms and the possibility to i...
