Ideal Fish, Great American Aquaculture's consumer-facing brand, has received notification of Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) Certification for sea bass.

The BAP certification program is administered by the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) and is compliant with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), Global Social Compliance Programme (GSCP) and Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI).

It is the only certification to cover the entire aquaculture production chain, from hatcheries to farms to processing plants.

The Connecticut-based company uses a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) to produce branzino, also known as Mediterranean sea bass.
