Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP)

Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) is a certification program that promotes responsible farming of seafood. It sets standards for environmental sustainability, animal welfare, food safety, and social responsibility in aquaculture. BAP-certified farms must meet strict criteria regarding water quality, animal care, and community impact. The goal is to ensure that seafood is produced in a way that is healthy for consumers and the planet. When you see the BAP logo on seafood products, it indicates that the fish or shellfish has been sourced from a farm that adheres to these best practices.
