NZ King Salmon becomes Australasia’s first salmon producer to offer four-star BAP salmon
(NEW ZEALAND, 4/11/2018)
New Zealand King Salmon has been eligible to offer four-star Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) salmon following the certification of its largest feed supplier, Skretting, the Global Aquaculture Alliance announced.
The certification of Skretting’s feed mill in Tasmania came soon after New Zealand King Salmon completed its annual audit of its three hatcheries and all eight of its salmon farms in South Island’s Marlborough Sound as well as its processing plant.
“New Zealand King Salmon is an ambitious company that never rests on its laurels and is constantly working to become even more economically, socially and environmentally sustainable,” said NZKS CEO and Managing Director Grant Rosewarne.
“We’re absolutely thrilled with this certification, because it further recognises over 30 years of hard work and investment in growing the world’s best salmon,” said Rosewarne.
At the end of March, there were a total of 2,015 BAP-certified processing plants, farms, hatcheries and feed mills in 33 countries on six continents.
The BAP-certified farms produce a total of 2.85 million metric tons of product annually.
