Welcome to ASC’s vocabulary portal. This platform contains active terms and definitions that are applicable across all documents that support the certification framework as well as the MyASC platform for CABs. The portal will serve to facilitate a clearer understanding of ASC’s requirements and objectives in achieving environmentally and socially responsible aquaculture. ASC will continually update the platform to reflect active terms across ASC’s systems.
The “Keyword Search” feature will search for terms that appear in the “Terms”, “Acronym” and “Definitions” columns. Results may be exported as a “CSV” file or for “Print”.
