Centre d'interprétation sur la mariculture

Open from mid-June to mid-September

Underwater Agriculture

What is mariculture? Mariculture is part of aquaculture, which is to seafood what vegetables are to agriculture. In this interpretation centre, you will learn more about breeding techniques for these small marine living beings that are intended or not to consumption.

People who do mariculture grow oysters and shrimps, among other things. Oysters can also be grown to produce cultured pearls. The video commentaries presented at the interpretation centre will allow you to understand this economical activity. It's a free activity at Étang-du-Nord!
