WV firm receives funding

A WEST Vancouver com-
pany which specializes in
the export of salmon eggs
has been granted a $125,000
loan from the federal gov-
ernment’s Western  Diver-
sification Fund (WD) that
will be used for expansion
and marketing.

Hatfield Biotechnology  Ltd.,
which owns Sale Spring
Aquafarms Lid., an exporter of
salmon eggs, said the money will
be used to expand and improve us
capacity to raise and incubate
coho eggs to meet the demands of
the international salmon egg mar-
cet.

Total cost of the expansion and
marketing project is estimated at
$354,403.

“These fish originally came
from the Kitimat river area and
have been bred in captivity for
three generations at the federal
research station in Nanaimo,"
said Hatfield Biotechnology presi-
dent Chris Hatfield.

He estimates the size of the
salmon egg market to be between
$15 million and $20 million an-
nually. The West Vancouver-
based company will initially mar-
ket the coho eggs in Chile and
North America and then expand
operations to Japan, Korea and
Indonesia.

Hatfield, who said Sis company
is enhancing salmon to make them
disease-resistant, added that the
current project his firm is involved
with will be the ‘‘ultimate biologi-
cal project.’

MAIL MISER

A BURNABY-based company
has developed a revolutionary
computer program that will not
only identify incorrect or invalid
mailing addresses, but will also
correct them to the standards
employed by the Canada Post
Corp.

Comdata Services Ltd. has de-
veloped the Mail Miser service
which will assess client mailing
lists and then proceed to correct
everything from postal codes to
the proper presentation of the ad-
dress on the mailing label.

{1 also includes built-in lan-
guage translation which will adjust
according to the location of the
postal station.

Peter Bryce of Comdata Ser-
vices said the Mail Miser is a
significant breakthrough for
Canada’s major mailers who rely
on the incentive of Canada Post's.
bulk rate discounts to deliver their
product. .

In order to qualify for these’
savings during this year, Canada.
Post requires mailing lists to be
checked by recognized software or
have a proven accuracy of 95%.
