Aquaculture products

Aquatic organisms raised by farming for food or industrial use — from Atlantic salmon, tilapia, carp and shrimp grown for the table to microalgae cultivated for omega-3 oils, pigments, feeds and biofuels. Quality and safety management spans the whole chain: feed composition and contaminants, water quality, veterinary drug residues with their withdrawal periods, and rapid post-harvest chilling and hygienic processing. Responsible-farming certification schemes increasingly condition market access, assuring buyers on environmental and welfare standards. Traceability from hatchery or nursery through harvest to pack is the backbone of credible aquaculture product assurance.
