Abstract
Organic certification addresses the processes
involved in production rather than the qualities
of the product itself. Organic farming is based on
holistic production management systems which
promote and enhance agro-ecosystem health, including
biodiversity, biological cycles and biological
activity. In general, organically farmed fish
which is farmed without using antibiotics and
pesticides is perceived to be more “natural” and
therefore healthier, or even tastier. Because of
these new concepts which promote eco-friendly
aquaculture, there is a tendency to prevent environment
degradation and promote sustainability
