To promote responsible practices across the aquaculture industry, the Global Aquaculture Alliance coordinates the development of Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification standards for hatcheries, farms, processing facilities and feed mills.

The BAP program drives continued improvements via high standards that deliver significant benefits industrywide.

The BAP standards currently cover aquaculture facilities for shrimp, tilapia and channel catfish. Additional standards for Pangasius farms and salmon farms are under development.
