What does BAP 4-Star certification mean?
The Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) star system identifies how many key stages of aquaculture production are covered by BAP certification.
A BAP 4-Star product connects four stages:
Hatchery → Farm → Feed Mill → Processing Plant
Together, these four certified links represent the highest star designation within the BAP program.
One chain. Four certified links.
For Aquagold, BAP 4-Star represents more than a certification milestone.
It reinforces the way we approach modern shrimp production: connecting the origin of the product with internationally recognized standards throughout its journey.
From where the shrimp begins its production cycle, through farming and feed, to processing and preparation for international markets.
This is the same strategic idea already established for the campaign: four stars, four links and one certified chain from the source.
Why BAP 4-Star matters to shrimp buyers
International seafood sourcing increasingly requires visibility beyond product size, presentation or packaging.
For importers, distributors, retailers and foodservice companies with BAP requirements, four-star certification provides a recognized framework covering major stages of aquaculture production.
For Aquagold customers, this means access to BAP 4-Star shrimp from Ecuador, supported across hatchery, farming, feed and processing.
