Responsible fish farming 

Farmed produce plays a major role in the seafood we are consuming worldwide, and today more than half of the world’s seafood consumption comes from aquaculture. Sustainable aquaculture will increasingly be important due to the inability of wild fish catches to supply the growing global demand for seafood products and proteins.

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food industry in the world and it is therefore of highest importance to ensure that the fish are farmed in a responsible way. 

RESPONSIBLE FARMING
AquaPri produces trout and pike perch. These are farmed at land based farms and, in the case of trout, at sea farms. We aim to secure the best conditions for our fish. Good fish quality and a high food safety can only be obtained with focus on the fish, the surrounding environment and its resources, our working team and our social responsibility.

We have ASC-certified our processing facility, six freshwater farms and one sea farm. This represents more than 40% of our total production. We continue to certify additional sites in line with our customers’ needs.

ASC
ASC describes its standard as ensuring environmentally and socially responsible fish farming. Read more about ASC here: http://www.asc-aqua.org/

ASC for trout
There is an ASC standard for trout farmed in fresh water, while trout farmed in the sea has to be certified according to the ASC standard for salmon.
