The aquaculture scope

For the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA scheme version 4.0 a list of new products has been launched, the aquaculture products are more differentiated than in the last version.

Aquaculture products valid for version 4.0 need to be managed differently and are located separately from the Aquaculture products for version 3.1.

In the version 4 Aquaculture scope there are 3 subscopes:

• Crustaceans
• Finfish
• Molluscs

In the GLOBALG.A.P. Database each new Aquaculture product has now three different quantities to be filled in:

• broodstock
• seedling
• farmed fish

For successful acceptance at least one quantity has to be entered. This enables obtaining certification for only broodstock, only seedlings, only farmed fish or for any combination of these three. The registration fee will be calculated for every quantity based on the current fee table.

The quantities that shall be entered above are the number of organisms in in-house production. Furthermore it is obligatory to enter, whether broodstock or seedlings are additionally purchased - otherwise the products cannot be accepted. This means, even if the producer does not buy additionally any, this information has to be put as an attribute.

This is a new feature in the GLOBALG.A.P. Database. If the icon is selectes, the attributes are shown:
