Gold River, BC – The Global Aquaculture Alliance, the leading standards-setting organization for aquaculture seafood, has awarded its Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification to three additional farms operated by Skuna Bay, Vancouver Island Craft Raised Salmon and owned by Grieg Seafood BC. With a total of 11 farms now BAP certified, Skuna Bay continues its commitment to only source its salmon from BAP certified farms.
“Our Craftsman Farmers have been tending our farms using Best Aquaculture Practices’ high standards since 2011 when our first four sites were certified followed by another four in 2012. We at Skuna Bay are now extremely proud to broaden that certification to include an additional three sea farms now totaling 11,” said Dave Mergle, Director, Skuna Bay Salmon.
Under BAP’s stringent policies, each new Skuna Bay farm of young salmon must be newly certified—and that certification concludes a year later.
“Most importantly, we are committed to meeting and upholding Best Aquaculture Practices’ sustainability standards in all Skuna Bay salmon not only now, but in the future through ongoing certification,” said Mergle.
