Farm standards
Our standards set strict requirements for responsible farming, which encourage seafood producers to minimise the key environmental and social impacts of aquaculture. The current eight ASC standards cover 12 species: abalone, bivalves (clams, mussels, oyster, scallop), freshwater trout, pangasius, salmon, shrimp, tilapia, seriola and cobia.
New standards and review
The ASC is currently developing various new standards, whereof one, for seaweed, in collaboration with the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
