The ASC has just launched the first of two 30-day public comment periods for three new standards - the ASC Flatfish Standard; the ASC Sea Bass, Sea Bream and Meagre Standard; and the ASC Tropical Marine Finfish Standard.

Building upon similarities of both farming practices and types of impacts of certain aquaculture systems, the ASC has taken a practical approach to developing these new standards; basing them on the existing multi-stakeholder derived ASC standards content.

Interested parties are invited to view the proposed standards on the ASC website, and to share their expertise and feedback from now until June 30.
