Clean Sea''s farmed kingfish and mulloway have been recently added to the Friend of the Sea sustainable seafood range.
Clean Seas is a South Australian aquaculture enterprise situated in Port Lincoln, Fitzgerald Bay, Port Augusta and Arno Bay. Its core business is the propagation of commercially bred southern bluefin tuna, mulloway and kingfish for the domestic market and international consumption.
Clean Seas adheres to the most comprehensive and advanced environmental standards available in the world and it has been the first aquaculture company in the Southern Hemisphere to be environmentally certified ISO 14001. The company will completely offset its CO2 production by the end of 2008.
Applicants to Friend of the Sea's aquaculture certification program are audited on specific criteria including habitat protection, feed and by-catch reduction requirements.
"I am glad to see our efforts recognised and now recognisable around the world, as our products will display the Friend of the Sea logo also in Europe, Asia and North America," explains Hagen Stehr AO, Chairman of Clean Seas. "Consumers need to know that some aquaculture products are a sustainable alternative to depleted species and Friend of the Sea seal of approval communicates this effectively."
