From 'zombie' urchins to seafood gold? Studies test sea urchin farming in Canada - British Columbia - CBC News

'Federal scientists and others are exploring the possibility of sea urchin farming in Canada, with at least six pilot studies using Norwegian technology that proponents hope will turn "zombie" urchins which can denude kelp beds into profitable seafood. '

'Urchins living in big, healthy kelp beds tend to have high-quality roe, said Pearce. '

'Urchins are primarily herbivores, and Salomon is concerned about them eating much higher on the food chain, using fish from another part of the world. '

'"We can take near-valueless sea urchins ... and turn them into super seafood products within two to three months," said Brian Tsuyoshi Takeda, founder of Urchinomics, the Norwegian company behind the aquaculture system. ', "Wild urchins are harvested in B.C. and elsewhere, but aren't farmed commercially anywhere in Canada — yet."
