ASC sets specific requirements for shrimp farming, such as the use of antibiotics and medicines, fish feed, the protection of biodiversity, greenhouse gases, waste management and chemicals. Specific attention is paid to risks in the shrimp chain, with guidelines for the recovery of destroyed mangrove forests, requirements for using as little wild fish as possible in feed and full traceability to food sources. ASC also monitors working conditions. The above-mentioned requirements that ASC sets for shrimp growth have a positive effect on animal welfare.
