Abstract

Aquaculture industries are increasingly expected to pay greater attention to environmental impacts and food safety concerns. The global paradigm has shifted from a primary focus on productive efficiency toward broader considerations of public safety and sustainability. Consequently, aquaculture systems must be designed to ensure efficient production while maintaining environmental responsibility. This paper reviews marine product certification, particularly the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) schemes, as sustainability tools for aquaculture-based marine products. The review highlights the role of certification in promoting sustainable production practices, conservation, and traceability within marine supply chains. In conclusion, further studies on sustainable marine product certification are necessary. ASC–MSC certification schemes demonstrate strong potential as tools for improving future stock sustainability. Such studies may provide valuable insights into integrating industrial practices with ecological approaches to support ecosystem sustainability and effective management of marine living resources.
