Aquaculture Stewardship Council

The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) is an independent organization that sets standards for responsible fish farming. Its goal is to ensure that aquaculture practices are environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, and economically viable. By certifying fish farms that follow these guidelines, the ASC helps consumers choose seafood produced in a way that minimizes environmental impact, supports local communities, and maintains fish welfare. This certification helps promote responsible practices in the aquaculture industry, aiming to protect ecosystems and ensure a steady supply of seafood for future generations.
