Aquaculture Governance Indicators: A diagnostic framework for steering towards sustainability

PLOS Sustainability and Transformation, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 4(4), P. e0000165 - e0000165

Published: April 3, 2025

The Aquaculture Governance Indicators (AGI) are an integrated social scientific framework for assessing governance performance steering aquaculture sectors towards sustainability around the world. AGI assess four dimensions against three principles. – legislation, voluntary codes and standards, collaborative arrangements capabilities - allow a systematic mapping of landscape. principles legitimacy, effectuation, coordination focus on organisation roles responsibilities, implementation effectiveness enforcement, monitoring learning, alignment activities. This paper demonstrates explorative explanatory power using case disease management in salmon industries Norway, Chile, Canada. Our findings show that risk these is strongly supported by state yet remains limited alternative solutions avoiding or mitigating effects other persistent environmental challenges. We conclude provides valuable self- guided reflection deliberation amongst decision-makers stakeholders Further development will global set country assessments, comparative analysis between production regions, comparison with indicator frameworks AGI’s potential food systems more broadly.

Recent shifts in the global dietary preferences have indicated fast-growing choice for plant-based, or meat-reduced diets. Among motivations such choices, which are increasingly advocated by nations and environmental institutions, is major concern with sustainability impacts of food production systems. Incontestably, animal source industry extremely diverse, seafood through aquaculture value chain remains unfamiliar to key stakeholders possibly leading an uncomprehensive view often biased perception farming within context. Accordingly, I discuss importance systems, as fastest that sector, increase their focus on arena more substantial effective improvements sustainable production, most importantly, concomitantly informing end consumers. mention examples types efforts can be implemented highlight urgency actively customers about practices.
