Environmental Notes Salmon production relies on wild capture fisheries for feed. The sustainability of fisheries supplying fishmeal and fish oil varies. There are concerns about the impact of farmed salmon escapes and disease outbreaks on wild salmonids. Escapes are a critical conservation concern in Production Areas 3, 4, 8, 9, 10 and 11. In addition, concerns have been expressed about the impact on wild wrasse populations used as cleaner fish to control sea lice. Impacts on water quality are localized, but there is potential for cumulative impacts in densely farmed areas. Chemical inputs of pesticides used to control sea lice are of particular concern for farmed Norwegian salmon. The use of chemical pesticides has been reduced over the last five years but varies by Production Areas. General Notes The environmental impacts described are addressed to some degree by certification. The Norwegian salmon industry has adopted a zonal approach to aquaculture management for licensing and disease management through the use of 13 Production Areas nationwide.

Environmental Notes GLOBALG.A.P. farmed seabass is well managed and management is thought to be fully effective. The standard mitigates many areas of environmental concern in open net pen aquaculture, including discharge of effluents, use of chemicals, escapes, disease and parasite interactions. Bass and bream farming in marine net pens can have negative environmental impacts, however, these impacts are reduced by the GLOBALG.A.P. standard. The GLOBALG.A.P. feed standard is lacking in criteria for responsible sourcing for both marine and terrestrial ingredients, and bass and bream are net consumers of protein.

Environmental Notes Seabass require fishmeal and fishoil from marine feed sources in their diet. Concerns about the sustainability of feed inputs are relatively minor though they are not necessarily certified sustainable. Escapes are a concern and little is known about the risk of disease transfer to wild species. Impacts on water quality are localized and have not been shown to have cumulative impacts beyond the immediate farm site. Chemical inputs are only used for health management and are applied in a controlled manner. Reports indicate responsible use, but there is a lack of data on the quantity of chemical inputs, including farm-level data on antibiotics usage. Some data indicate that antibiotics use in Greece is common. General Notes The environmental impacts described are addressed to some degree by certification.

Environmental Notes Seabass feed is traceable and requirements are in place for responsible ingredient sourcing, however, it is a net consumer of protein. Farming in marine net pens can have a negative environmental impact such as the use of chemicals, and there is a lack of data available of escapes. However, there is no use of freshwater supplies and habitat alteration is small-scale. There also is not thought to be a widespread issue of parasites or pathogens.

Environmental Notes Rainbow trout require fishmeal and fish oil from marine feed sources in their diet. Rainbow trout are not native to Norway. There are concerns about the impact of farmed salmonid escapes and disease outbreaks on wild fish populations. On average, 44,000 rainbow trout were registered escaped from Norwegian fish farms per year from 2010 to 2018. The most common cause of escapes are holes in the net. Fish farmers in Norway are legally obliged to report escapes. Impacts on water quality depend on the farming method used. Production using open net cages and ponds results in the discharge of waste and nutrients directly into the surrounding water. General Notes The environmental impacts described are addressed to some degree by certification.

Environmental Notes Trout have a high requirement for fish in their diet. The GLOBALG.A.P. feed standard has criteria in place for responsible sourcing for both marine and terrestrial ingredients, however, rainbow trout are net consumers of protein. The GLOBALG.A.P. standard mitigates many areas of environmental concern in open net pen aquaculture, including discharge of effluents, use of chemicals, disease and parasite interactions. However, escapes of farmed rainbow trout from marine net pens may still occur. General Notes The environmental impacts described are addressed to some degree by certification. National guidelines support a zonal approach to aquaculture. References FishSource - Salmon, Spain Good Fish Guide, Rainbow trout, Europe; Open net pen, marine; GLOBALG.A.P.

Environmental Notes Previous concerns over interactions with seabirds have been mitigated using bird scaring lines and a reduction in fishing effort. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the extent of fishery interactions with some ETP species. There is bycatch for this fishery, but there is a strategy in place for managing retained species. The estimated discard rate for the fishery is low. Bottom trawls will directly impact the sea bed, however, this fishery is considered highly unlikely to have an irreversible impact on habitat structure and function.

Environmental Notes Although the incidental capture of byproduct and bycatch species by trawling can lead to a range of indirect ecosystem effects, studies in Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia found no significant difference in biodiversity or overall distribution patterns of seabed biota between trawled and nontrawled areas. Ecological risk assessments of the fishery have acknowledged the reduced impact of trawling and a general absence of high risk of overfishing bycatch species. Although trawling can impact habitats, these effects are managed. General Notes No additional notes

Environmental Notes Organic King prawns (L. vannamei) from Ecuador and Honduras rely on traceable, responsible terrestrial feed ingredients. The marine component of the feed includes trimmings, although whole fish can also be used. The production of Organic King prawn does not allow the destruction of mangroves for pond construction, pond discharges are low and only minimal chemical treatments are used, if at all and all juveniles are hatchery based. Surrounding wild shrimp populations are also not impacted by disease or escapes from farms. General Notes The environmental impacts described are addressed to some degree by certification. The government has adopted a farm-based approach to aquaculture regulations and licensing.

Environmental Notes Criteria on responsible feed are lacking in the ASC Shrimp Standard and the GLOBALG.A.P. Aquaculture standard with currently no requirements for responsible ingredient sourcing, however updated standards are anticipated. The ASC and GGAP standards mitigate many areas of environmental concern in prawn farming, including freshwater depletion, habitat alteration, discharge of effluents, chemical usage, escapes and disease and parasite interactions. Disease outbreak and parasite interactions may occur but are thought to be at a farm level and do not threaten regional level operations. The risk of escapes have not been found to have established in the wild. Prawn farms rely on chemical usage and antibiotics are widely used. Within the ASC Shrimp Standard, there is strict regulation on the use of chemicals to mitigate their impact on the surrounding environment. Within the GLOBALG.A.P. Aquaculture Standard, there is a veterinary health plan in place which monitors the chemical impacts on the surrounding environment and has specific criteria on when antibiotics can be used.

Environmental Notes Fishmeal and fish oil from marine feed sources are used. The sustainability of feed inputs is unknown. Disease transfer between farmed and wild prawns is a concern but infrequent water exchange on whiteleg shrimp farms moderates the risk. Information on escapes is limited. Shrimp farmed in Ecuador are raised from hatchery-raised native broodstock, therefore lowering the risk to wild shrimp populations if interbreeding does occur, however, interbreeding may still result in reduced genetic fitness. Pollution from nutrients and organic matter, as well as chemical inputs, may affect local water quality. Impacts on water quality vary depending on farm practices including the frequency of waste discharge from ponds.
