The certification will apply to marine fish farms that prove they are free from the use of antimicrobials and antiparasitic treatments throughout the production cycle.
Alicia Gallardo, Deputy Director of Aquaculture Sernapesca, explained that this certification has been developed due to the interest of companies in demonstrating that that they have not used these types of medication.
"We hope that with this certification companies will be motivated to avoid the use of these treatments during the production cycle," Ms Gallardo said.
The first two centres to be accredited belong to Nova Austral and are located in Magallanes region.
