As GSI members we have chosen to use ASC certification as our reference point for progress in our sustainability performance. The ASC certification is widely recognized as the most rigorous assessment of responsible aquaculture, and we are committed to achieving 100% certification. Here you can track the number of farms currently certified, those undergoing certification, and the number of tons certified.
