Are you a seafood farmer, a seaweed farmer or a feed producer? ASC certification can help you to evidence your passion and commitment to operating your business responsibly, in line with the highest standards in aquaculture.
Through the ASC global Improver Programme, we also support seafood farmers that are not yet ready to begin the ASC certification process but are still dedicated to improving their practices and making a positive impact.
Read on to find out how you can participate in the ASC Programme.
Why choose ASC certification?
We are setting the standard for seafood farmed with care, working to the highest assurance and transparency standards. Our aim is to continuously raise the game, improving and adapting, based on the latest scientific insights and best practices. This means that all our partners benefit.

ASC offers you greater access to market demand in all globally relevant markets.
ASC offers you the opportunity to openly show your responsible farming practices as part of the globally recognised ASC certification programme.
Our wide, global ASC network gives you all the support you need to achieve and retain farmed seafood certification.
