Yellow Island Aquaculture Ltd. (YIAL) is a small, family-owned, fully-integrated organic Pacific salmon hatchery and farm located on Quadra Island - just east of Campbell River on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Since our start in 1985, YIAL remains the oldest, continuously-owned Pacific salmon farm in BC.
Our specialty products are fresh whole (head-on), fresh fillets, hot smoked, and candied chinook salmon - all delivered within 24 hours of harvest every week, all-year-round. We also provide production eggs (gametes) and smolts for other aquaculture operations who wish to obtain animals from an organic source.
Yellow Island Aquaculture pioneered the organic aquaculture movement in BC. In 1989, we completely stopped using antibiotics in all stages of our entire operation. We have been fully compliant to current, stringent organic aquaculture standards since 1999. We underwent an independent, third-party audit and were verified as fully compliant in 2003.
