ASC is bringing together its twelve species-specific standards into one robust Farm Standard to provide greater consistency across all species covered by ASC.
This means:
- The requirements that all farms need to meet to obtain, and retain, ASC certification are relevant and consistent
- ASC can act on market demand for new species and add new production systems to the programme
- Previous requirements are enhanced and new ones are added to address the key environmental and social impacts from aquaculture
The Standard is structured according to four principles – with our new, fourth principle developed to put fish welfare front and centre of our new approach
