Aquaculture Common Issues Group
The Seafish Aquaculture Common Issues Group (ACIG) is an amalgam of interested parties drawn together to develop consensus positions on a range of important issues affecting the finfish and shellfish aquaculture industry.
The ACIG provides a forum to address ethical, environmental and sustainability challenges to aquaculture. Such challenges could include minimising impact on the environment; making the best use of locally available resources; making the right choices as far as labour rights in the third world; complying with national legislation and ensuring the best use of feed and therapeutic products.
The aim is to establish a baseline understanding of the underpinning principles and then to build as high a level of agreement as possible, particularly as this relates to responsible, sustainable sourcing of seafood.
