Raising production:
Understanding
new tilapia species
in ASC FARM Standard

The ASC Farm Standard is an assessment and certification system for sustainable aquaculture practices. The objective of this standard is to ensure that aquaculture operations are carried out in an environmentally, socially and economically responsible manner. Monitoring and evaluation according to ASC Farm standards helps to reduce negative impacts on the environment, ensure the rights of workers and local communities, and improve production efficiency.

The introduction of new tilapia species into the ASC Farm system brings new potentials and challenges. Tilapia is one of the popular commercial fish due to its fast growth rate and adaptability to the culture environment. However, the sustainable development of the tilapia farming industry needs to ensure that food safety and quality standards are followed.

The new tilapia species in the ASC Farm system are able to meet these stringent standards, such as using organic feed instead of chemical feed, and managing water resources and the pond environment efficiently. fruit, and ensure natural growth of fish without the use of growth hormones.

Understanding the new tilapia species in the ASC Farm system opens up opportunities to raise the bar for sustainable aquaculture production. The combination of adopting the ASC Farm standard and using a new species of tilapia can provide important benefits.

1. Environmental protection: The new species of tilapia grown according to ASC Farm standards will minimize negative impacts on the environment, such as using less water and reducing the amount of fertilizer released into the environment.
2. Food safety: Tilapia products from ASC Farm system meet food safety standards, ensuring a safe and quality food supply for consumers.
3. TIncreased income for farmers: New tilapia farming according to ASC Farm standards can provide better income for farmers, while improving their quality of life.
4. Production scalability: Tilapia species has a fast growth rate, which increases production capacity and provides a stable source of aquatic food.

Therefore, understanding the new tilapia species in the ASC Farm system is an important step in raising the level of sustainable aquaculture production.
