The standards are organized around six core principles: legal compliance, habitat and biodiversity conservation, water resource protection, fish health and welfare, resource efficiency, and social responsibility. Key environmental requirements include prohibitions on transgenic trout, strict limits on phosphorus discharge (6.5 kg/mt of fish), and the mandatory use of riparian buffer zones of at least 10 meters for new farms. Social standards align with ILO guidelines, prohibiting child and forced labor while requiring a basic needs wage for all employees. The document also specifies rigorous feed sourcing requirements, aiming for 100% certified marine ingredients within five years and a Fishmeal Forage Fish Dependency Ratio (FFDRm) of ≤ 1.5. Certification is site-specific and requires 100% compliance across all standards.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"wwf-000382#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"The standards are designed to be rigorous and require 100% compliance on every single standard for a farm to be awarded certification.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"wwf-000382#insight-1","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"New or expanding trout farms must maintain a natural riparian buffer zone of at least 10 meters from the water's edge to protect wildlife access and ecological function.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"wwf-000382#insight-2","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The culture of transgenic trout, including their offspring, is strictly prohibited based on the precautionary principle due to unknown risks to adjacent ecosystems.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"wwf-000382#insight-3","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"For land-based systems, the maximum allowable total phosphorus released into the environment is 6.5 kg per metric ton of fish produced over 12 months, with a target of 5 kg/mt within three years.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"wwf-000382#insight-4","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Cage-based systems in lakes or reservoirs must conduct an assimilative capacity assessment to ensure the water body can handle the nutrient loading without depleting oxygen levels below 50% saturation at the bottom.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"wwf-000382#insight-5","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Fish health standards require a site-specific farm health plan reviewed annually and at least one annual inspection by a designated veterinarian specializing in aquatic animal health.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"wwf-000382#insight-6","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The standards prohibit the prophylactic use of chemical antimicrobial treatments, though approved prebiotics and probiotics are permitted.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"wwf-000382#insight-7","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The Fishmeal Forage Fish Dependency Ratio (FFDRm) for grow-out production must be less than or equal to 1.5 to reduce pressure on wild forage fish stocks.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"wwf-000382#insight-8","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Farms must implement a grievance and conflict resolution mechanism for surrounding communities and, for new farms, conduct a third-party social impact assessment covering six priority areas.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"wwf-000382#insight-9","date_modified":"2026-10-23"}],"climate_tags":["biodiversity conservation","water quality","greenhouse gas emissions","energy efficiency"],"geography_discussed":["Denmark","Faroe Islands","Spain","Poland","Italy","Turkey","United Kingdom","United States","Netherlands"],"frame_perspective":[],"analysis_type":["standards development","environmental assessment","social impact assessment"]}]}
