This specially designed system allows responsible salmon to be raised in optimal conditions without impacting coastal ecosystems. ? “ASC celebrates a sea of firsts with the certification of Atlantic Sapphire,” says Meghan Russell, ASC’s Senior Market Development Manager. “RAS has been a growing trend in the aquaculture industry and ASC is keenly aware of the benefits this unique method of farming can offer when done responsibly, including lower water consumption and greater environmental controls.” ?

Tilapia and cod are two of the most popular white fish available to shoppers in the U.S. Both fish are versatile in the kitchen and are a great way of getting lean protein into your diet. You may know them by name, but do you know what sets them apart? These tasty white fish share a lot in common, but one big difference is that most tilapia is farm raised, while cod is fished in the wild. This doesn't make one better than the other, but whichever you choose, it's important to shop for the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) labels to enjoy responsible and sustainable seafood choices that benefit the planet and you! ASC and certified farm partner Regal Springs talk all things tilapia and the importance of ASC's sea green label in the latest Food Republic article. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eyz3xqXn
