ISO/TC 234 Fisheries and aquaculture: what is it about? [Presentation at the EATiP/OBPS Best Practices in Aquaculture Workshop, 05 April 2022 (Online)].

Abstract

The key message conveyed to the audience was that standards are the next major step in the process of developing sustainable aquaculture. They are a way of putting best practices into use and are useful for industry stakeholders who need to document how best practices are being adopted into the aquaculture value chain. The ISO system is an efficient tool to implement transparency and a level playing field across the sector. The attendants were invited to look into how they can engage in the development of the ISO/TC 234 standard for Fisheries and Aquaculture.
