Aquaculture standards committee
The Aquaculture Standards Committee usually meets twice per year. We aim to have a wide and representative spread of appropriate expertise on the committee together with consumer and public interest representatives. The Aquaculture Standards Committee's remit is to develop and keep under review our aquaculture standards and to deal with any relevant issues referred to the committee from licensees, Soil Association members, the public or our certification department.
