BAP grants first North American 3-star certification

摘要

GAA makes headway on effort to get companies to demonstrate multilevel compliance to its BAP standards. Northern Harvest Sea Farms received the Global Aquaculture Alliance's (GAA) Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) three-star certification for its farmsin eastern Canada, making it the first company in North America to win the three star stamp. Three-star BAP listings control production from the hatchery through farm and plant, while two-star focus on just the processing plant and the farm. The companypartnered with Vancouver, British Columbia-based Skretting Canada, which recently had its feed mills in Canada's southeastern province of New Brunswick and westernmost province of British Columbia, BAP certified. "We look forward to more and more facilities both in North America and elsewhere — following their path," Peter Redmond, BAP vice president of development, said.
