Scope

To introduce participants to sustainable aquaculture practices and global seafood production systems, with a focus on environmental responsibility, certification standards, resource efficiency, and low-carbon approaches in the aquaculture industry.

Content

Mr. Justin presented the principles and practices of sustainable aquaculture adopted by leading seafood companies. The session covered internationally recognized certification standards such as the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), and Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP), which ensure responsible production without the use of unauthorized chemicals or hormones. Participants learned about sustainable feed sourcing, including deforestation-free feed ingredients, and the use of automated feeding systems to improve feed conversion efficiency and reduce waste. The lecture also highlighted the integration of renewable energy technologies, such as solar power systems and energy-monitoring tools, in aquaculture operations. Discussions further emphasized supply-chain sustainability, traceability, and the use of green incentives to encourage environmentally responsible production practices.
