Sealord has become the world’s first barramundi farm to be awarded the Best Aquaculture Practice (BAP) certification for its King Reef Barramundi.
Sealord’s King Reef Barramundi is farmed in Far North Queensland where the tropical climate creates is ideal for Barramundi.
To achieve the Best Aquaculture Practice accreditation, all aspects of Sealord’s operations were assessed including its environmental responsibility, community relations, employee safety, food safety, animal health and the care of wildlife, to ensure it is a world-class organisation.
“Being the first Barramundi farm world-wide to be certified with Best Aquaculture Practice, is a great achievement,” said Scott Hayward, Farm Manager Sealord King Reef Barramundi. “We pride ourselves on having a strong stance on sustainability through every aspect of our operation and this accreditation reflects all the hard work we put in on a daily basis.”
“We hope to set the standard world-wide for Barramundi farms and continue to be at the forefront of Best Aquaculture Practice,” Hayward said.
