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 eleven ASC standards cover 17 species groups: abalone; bivalves (clams, mussels, oyster, scallop); flatfish, freshwater trout; pangasius; salmon; seabass, seabream, meagre; seriola and cobia; shrimp; tilapia, and tropical marine finfish. There is also a joint ASC-MSC standard for seaweed.
Seaweed
The ASC-MSC Seaweed Standard sets a number of requirements for seaweed harvesting and farming practices
Feed
The ASC Feed Standard sets social and environmental requirements for responsible factory practices and ingredients used in aquafeed
Traceability
Our Chain of Custody certification ensures that ASC labelled seafood comes from a certified responsible farm
New standards, reviews and revisions
We are developing a new standard for feed and undertaking reviews of the salmon and shrimp standards.
