ASC traceability controls ensure the provenance of certified farmed seafood.<\/p>\n<p>ASC acts in the marketplace to increase the awareness, value, demand, and distribution of ASC certified seafood. As demand grows, there is an incentive for producers to pursue the recognition and reward that ASC certification offers. As more producers achieve certification, more seafood is farmed responsibly.<\/p>\n<p>This process leads to an aquaculture system that produces more fish for more people with the most responsible
