Lerøy Seafood GrMore Lerøy oup and certification body Bureau Veritas last week hosted a joint ceremony at Seafood Expo Global in Brussels to celebrate that three Lerøy Aurora farms have been certified against the ASC salmon standard for responsible aquaculture.

The two latest Lerøy Aurora farms join the three existing Lerøy certified operations, two certified Marine Harvest farms in Norway and Tassal’s site in Australia. The number of ASC certified salmon farms now totals eight.

An additional 11 farms in Norway, Australia, Canada and Chile are also awaiting the outcome of their assessments.

At the ceremony, the three Lerøy Aurora operations: Årøya, Gourtesjohka and Solheim farms were presented with their official certificates for complying with the ASC standard.

“It is an honor to receive the ASC certificates on behalf or our three farm sites. At Lerøy Aurora we always strive towards the highest quality, not only of our products, but also in terms of responsible farming methods,” Gudrun Gunnarsdottir, Lerøy Aurora quality coordinator. “Gaining certification against the ASC Salmon Standard provides the guarantee to our customers that our fish has been produced with minimal environmental and social impacts. I look forward to promoting our certified salmon at the Seafood Expo Global and in the future.”
