Acuinova Chile S.A. has achieved Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification.
The company joins Nova Austral and a number of other Pescanova Group seafood processing plants in receiving BAP certification.
The Acuinova Chile processing plant is located in Puerto Chacabuco-Aysen, Chile, in Region XI, and produces more than 35,000 metric tons of Atlantic salmon annually. The plant produces fresh and frozen salmon in a variety of product forms, including fillets, portions, blocks, H&G and whole fish.
Acuinova Chile said BAP certification provides further recognition of the high standards already achieved by the company and reaffirms its commitment to responsible salmon farming.
More than 600 processing plants, farms, feed mills and hatcheries are now BAP certified, which is a net increase of more than 100 facilities since 30 November 2012, when 497 processing plants, farms, feed mills and hatcheries were certified.
