BAP-孵化场认证标准要求，from Issue 1.0 to 2.1
A. Summary of Key Changes from Issue 1.0 to 2.1
1. Hatcheries are now required to conduct a risk assessment of potential human food safety risksassociated with their operations.
2. The worker safety and employee relations requirements have been updated, including requirements forwages and benefits, working hours including overtime, voluntary labor, child labor and young workers,use of workers from recruitment agencies, discrimination, disciplinary procedures, worker voice, andworker health and safety.
3. The effluent monitoring parameters and limits for land-based systems have been updated and includeunique parameters and limits for recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS).
4. The water quality monitoring requirements for cages or net pens in fresh or brackish water have beenrevised, consistent with the approach adopted in the BAP Farm Standard 3.0.
5. The BAP Fish In Fish Out (FIFO) limits for hatcheries using over 50 mt dry feed/year have been revised,and a requirement to calculate the Forage Fish Dependency Ratio (FFDR) has been added.
6. Requirements for live feeds produced in hatchery operations have been added.
7. Hatcheries are required to control the sources of their broodstock/eggs/etc. (stocking material) via aneffective internal auditing process.
8. Requirements to limit escape events were updated.
9. Traceability requirements, particularly those related to demonstrating BAP Star Status, were updated,and trace-forward and trace-back exercise are now required.
10. “Outsourcing activity” to an uncertified “downstream” hatchery/nursery phase, as was considered in theintroduction to BAP Hatchery Standard 2.0, will not be allowed under the certification process ofhatcheries. The stage of the seedstock supply chain immediately preceding transfer of live aquaticproducts to a farm must be certified for the hatchery-related Star to transfer through to a BAP-certifiedfarm.
B. IntroductionBest Aquaculture Practices CertificationThe following Best Aquaculture Practices Standards apply to all aquaculture hatchery and nursery facilities thatproduce eggs and/or juvenile aquatic animals for live transfer to other aquaculture facilities and to all species forwhich BAP farm standards are available. Production facilities can be ponds or tanks on land with directed inflowsand outflows of water, trays located intertidally on the foreshore, or rafts or net pens (cages) floating in a body ofwater. For the purposes of this standard, “hatchery” or “hatcheries” will be the generic terms used to describe suchfacilities.” Throughout this document the term “hatchery” also includes nursery. In the case of multi-phasehatchery operations under a single company’s ownership, depending upon the physical locations of facilitiesand other factors, the scope of the annual third-party audit may be limited to the final phase of productionpreceding transfer or sale of live aquatic products to a farm where the animals are grown to harvestablesize for human consumption. Other affiliated “upstream,” production operations must be internally auditedunder the full scope of the BAP Hatchery and Nursery Standard.Processes that may occur within the general scope of hatchery operations include:• Broodstock acquisition, production, selection, and management• Mollusk spawning and larval setting• Egg collection, fertilization, incubation, and hatching• Larval rearing• Feeds and feeding practices• A nursery phase or intermediate juvenile production phase before final grow out that may itselfconsist of one or more stages• Treatment of animals to induce sterility, manipulate gender or achieve protective immunity againstpathogens, or to treat or protect against disease.Except in the case of certain mollusk species, the collection and rearing of eggs, larvae, or juveniles fromthe wild to supply as stocking material in farms is not permitted under these standards.The above processes may be carried out in sequence at one location or in multiple locations with live aquaticproducts transferred between them, and ownership of the products may be changed in the case of supplychains that are not vertically integrated. For facilities with multiple locations, each location shall be considereda separate facility for BAP certification.Some requirements may only apply to specific production systems (e.g., earthen pond facilities, facilities thatproduce effluents, or facilities using net pens). Each section of the standard and guideline identifies whichspecific standards apply to the different production systems.For understanding the certification process, please review the information available on the GSA website(
