Aquaculture Regulatory Frameworks

Aquaculture regulatory frameworks are guidelines and laws that govern the farming of aquatic organisms, like fish and shellfish. These frameworks ensure that aquaculture practices are safe, environmentally sustainable, and socially responsible. They cover areas such as water quality, species health, feed safety, and land use. Regulatory bodies, often at national or regional levels, establish these rules to protect natural ecosystems, public health, and industry standards. By enforcing compliance, they aim to promote responsible aquaculture that benefits both producers and consumers while minimizing negative impacts on the environment.
