Farmer Stories
Meet the responsible seafood farmers putting ASC’s standards into action.
The world’s appetite for seafood is growing fast.
Aquaculture already provides more than half of the seafood eaten worldwide, but a growing industry means a growing impact. That’s why we are working hard to encourage responsible farming, and to promote the benefits of responsibly farmed seafood.
Read stories from the farms that meet these best practices and what makes them proud of the work they do.

“We wanted to be able to produce sustainable food in large quantities to feed a growing global population, and mussels deliver on these goals. They require no external inputs, no food, no fertiliser, no medications and no fresh water. Nothing is added – we just give them a place to grow.”
Sara Holmyard, Head of Sales and Marketing, Offshore Shellfish
“ASC challenges us to continually improve and raise the highest standards for both sea and land operations”
