Aquaculture has an important role to play in the global efforts to eliminate hunger and malnutrition by supplying fish and other aquatic products for human consumption. Aquaculture also makes significant contributions to poverty reduction by improving employment opportunities and increasing returns on resource use. Statistics have shown that in 2008, aquaculture accounted for 46% of the total food fish supply considering that the global food fish from aquaculture reached 52.5 million metric tons out of the 142.0 million metric tons of total fish production from capture fisheries and aquaculture (FAO, 2010). However, the rapid increase of aquaculture production and trade had also ushered in concerns regarding the potential negative impacts of aquaculture development on the environment, communities and consumers. Certification in aquaculture was therefore initiated as means of ensuring that the negative impacts of aquaculture are minimized, while the benefits to society and consumers are enhanced and confidence in aquaculture production and marketing is restored.
