BAP LogoTraceability

Traceability is an integral part of Best Aquaculture Practices certification. It interconnects links in the aquaculture seafood production chain and allows each processed lot to be traced back to the pond and inputs of origin.

Traceability assures purchasers that all steps in the production process were taken in compliance with environmental, social and food safety standards.

All certified facilities must maintain internal electronic or paper-based records of the required data to document essential information and establish “one up, one down” traceability. Where facilities claim inputs from BAP-certified farms, hatcheries, feed mills or processing plants, a chain of custody audit is required to verify proper product segregation and record keeping.
