The Aquaculture Stewardship Council has wrapped up a successful Discovery Tour in Scotland, where seafood buyers from the US and Italy experienced ASC-certified salmon farming first-hand

Over three days, the group visited farms, feed mills and processing facilities operated by Mowi Scotland and Bakkafrost Scotland which gave a comprehensive view of responsible aquaculture in one of the world’s leading salmon-producing regions.

Buyers from Italmark, Sam’s Club and Holland America Line shared how the tour deepened their understanding of the supply chain with Davide Bocchi of Italmark calling the companies ‘outstanding examples of certified sustainable seafood’.
