The Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) has announced that the number of Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP)-certified facilities is up 14.3 per cent this year.
At the end of June, the number of BAP-certified processing plants, farms, hatcheries and feed mills in 34 countries and six continents reached 2,079, from 1,819 at the end of 2017.
Of the 2,079, 1,343 are farms, 411 are processing plants, 212 are hatcheries and 113 are feed mills.
The BAP program reached a milestone in March when it surpassed the 2,000-facility mark for the first time.
As in previous years, there have been a number of first for the BAP program this year, including the world’s first BAP-certified recirculating aquaculture system and seriola farm, first company to offer four-star BAP Mediterranean sea bass and sea bream, first company to offer four-star BAP king salmon, first Scottish company to attain BAP certification (for Atlantic salmon), first pet food product to carry to BAP label and first company to offer four-star BAP oysters.
