Aquaculture Stewardship Council certified pangasius is now available at Market Place by Jasons stores in Hong Kong.
“I’d like to thank Market Place by Jasons for their support of ASC certified farms. By doing so they are bringing certified responsible fish to thousands of people across Hong Kong and giving them the assurance that they are making a responsible choice when they eat ASC certified fish,” said Chris Ninnes, ASC CEO.
“I am delighted with the growing support for ASC across Asia. We have seen the launch of ASC certified salmon and pangasius in Japan. And, the Sustainable Seafood Festival across Asia in June has helped to further raise ASC’s profile in the region.
“With the presence of ASC labelled products in 37 counties globally, we have made strong inroads in emerging Asian markets such as South Korea and Taiwan. And, we are very excited that the first ASC certified salmon is also available in Australia.”
The ASC labeled NBM pangasius fillets 454g is a frozen product farmed and supplied by the ASC certified An My Fish JSB farm in Vietnam.
There are currently 44 pangasius farms certified against the ASC pangasius standard and four more farms are under assessment.
