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 selected, they are shown:
It is obligatory to select Yes or No for Broodstock additionally purchased? and Seedlings additionally purchased?, furthermore for Post harvest activity?
Please, note: After having selected the first Yes or No, wait till the value is validated and reloaded. Continue then with the second entry and so on.
Have you not entered any quantity for broodstock or seedlings in-house production, Yes has to be selected at least for seedling purchase indicating the product source. Vice versa, have you chosen No for purchase, there must be a quantity at least for seedlings.
