The NSERC Canadian Fisheries Research Network (CFRN) is linking academic researchers, the fishing industry, and government researchers and managers to develop a national capture fisheries research capacity. The vision of the Network is to reshape fisheries research in Canada by establishing a tradition of enhanced collaboration across sectors that is required for a sustainable and viable fishing industry in an evolving management system.
