ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council)

The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) is an international organization that promotes sustainable aquaculture, which is the farming of fish and seafood. ASC sets standards for responsible practices that protect the environment and ensure fish welfare. They certify farms that meet these rigorous standards, helping consumers identify responsibly sourced seafood. By choosing ASC-certified products, consumers support environmentally friendly practices, help reduce the negative impact of fish farming, and encourage better management of aquatic resources. The goal is to make aquaculture a more sustainable and ethical industry for both people and the planet.
