SALMON AQUACULTURE DIALOGUE
The Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue (SAD) standards provide a comprehensive framework to minimize the negative environmental and social impacts of salmon farming. The standards cover seven key principles: legal compliance, conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem function, protection of wild populations, efficient resource use, responsible disease and parasite management, social responsibility in farm operations, and community engagement. Specific performance thresholds are set for benthic health, water quality, sea lice levels, feed sustainability (including Forage Fish Dependency Ratios), and labor rights. The standards are designed to be implemented by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) through third-party certification, requiring 100% compliance and high levels of data transparency.
