Aquaculture

Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, shellfish, and seaweed.

It can be done in both marine and freshwater environments and can involve a variety of species. Aquaculture can be used to produce food for human consumption, as well as for non-food products such as pearls, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Some common methods of aquaculture include pond culture, cage culture, and mariculture. Aquaculture can have both positive and negative impacts on the environment, and it is important for those involved in the industry to consider these impacts and work to minimize any negative effects.

We help design and implement best practices for all types of aquaculture.

Best Practices

There are a number of best practices that are recommended for those involved in aquaculture. These include:

1. Using sustainable and responsible sourcing practices to ensure that the aquatic species being farmed are not being overfished or taken from fragile ecosystems.

2. Implementing measures to prevent the spread of diseases and parasites between farmed and wild aquatic populations.

3. Using environmentally-friendly methods for feeding and caring for the aquatic species, such as using plant-based feeds instead of fishmeal.

4. Ensuring that aquaculture facilities are designed and managed in a way that minimizes environmental impacts, such as by using closed-loop systems that recycle water and nutrients.

5. Monitoring the environmental impacts of aquaculture operations and implementing measures to mitigate any negative effects.

6. Promoting transparency and communication with local communities and stakeholders to ensure that the concerns and needs of these groups are taken into account.

7. Adhering to all relevant laws and regulations related to aquaculture.

We have created a set of Tools, Guidelines, and Masterclasses to help Aquaculture Farmers reach their maximum potential with minimal environmental impact.
