CVER- Recent Research Activity

CVER's research programs have continued to grow and expand, and although it is impossible to capture them all, we have highlighted several new research activities spearheaded by CVER members.

  • Dr. John Vanleeuwen, with collaborators from Dalhousie, Mt. Allison and Acadia Universities, along with the NS Department of Environment and Labour, Health Canada, and Equilibrium Environmental Inc, recently received over $300,000 from Health Canada to begin a project investigating arsenic exposure in two rural Nova Scotia communities.
  • Crawford Revie, our new Canada Research Chair in Epi-informatics, and Larry Hammell, led the working group of the International Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue coordinated by the World Wildlife fund. Three years in the making, Larry presented the report, Salmon Disease: State of Knowledge, and Crawford presented a similar report, Sea Lice; State of Knowledge.
  • AVC has signed a 10-year MOU with the province of NB relating to its use in support of the aquaculture industries.
