Canada's True North salmon is now certified to the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) standards, allowing the company to offer three-star salmon.
True North salmon is produced by Cooke Aquaculture, North America’s largest vertically integrated, independent salmon farming company.
Cooke has attained three-star BAP certification for its processing operations, its Northeast Nutrition Inc. feed mill and several salmon farm sites -- with plans to add more farm sites, the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) has announced.
The company will apply for four-star certification once GAA has finalized its BAP hatchery and nursery standards later this year.
