Aquaculture Certification Councils

Aquaculture Certification Councils are organizations that set and maintain standards for fish and seafood farming practices. They ensure that the practices used in aquaculture—such as how fish are fed, their living conditions, and environmental impacts—meet specific sustainability and safety criteria. Certifications from these councils signal to consumers that the products are responsibly sourced, promoting environmentally friendly practices and animal welfare. By choosing certified aquaculture products, consumers can support sustainable fishing practices while enjoying safer and more responsibly produced seafood.
