One of GAA's primary efforts is to establish standards of good practice for responsible aquaculture. To that end, the Alliance published "Codes of Practice for Responsible Shrimp Farming." This technical guide, available in sections below or as a complete printed manual, is a significant part of GAA's Responsible Aquaculture Program.
Prepared by Dr. Claude Boyd and other members of the GAA Technical Committee, the 10 codes contained in Part I of the guide (see below) are intended to assist in the development of national or regional codes, as well as to provide direction for individual shrimp farm operators. In its Review of Responsible Shrimp Farming, Part II of "Codes of Practice for Responsible Shrimp Farming" reviews shrimp production technology and farming techniques that address both sustainability and efficiency. Visit these pages for a general overview of the industry and its relationship to the environment.
