1、CAN/CGSB-32.312-2012Organic Aquaculture StandardsICS 65.150National Standard of CanadaThe CANADIAN GENERAL STANDARDS BOARD (CGSB), under whose auspices this National Standard of Canada has been developed is a government agency within Public Works and Government Services Canada. CGSB is engaged in th

2、e production of voluntary standards in a wide range of subject areas through the media of standards committees and the consensus process. The standards committees are composed of representatives of relevant interests including producers, consumers and other users, retailers, governments, educational

3、 institutions, technical, professional and trade societies, and research and testing organizations. Any given standard is developed on the consensus of views expressed by such representatives. CGSB has been accredited by the Standards Council of Canada as a national standards-development organizatio

4、n. The standards that it develops and offers as National Standards of Canada conform to the criteria and procedures established for this purpose by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to standards it publishes as national standards, CGSB produces standards to meet particular needs, in respo

5、nse to requests from a variety of sources in both the public and private sectors. Both CGSB standards and CGSB national standards are developed in conformance with the policies described in the CGSB Policy Manual for the Development and Review of Standards. CGSB standards are subject to review and r

6、evision to ensure that they keep abreast of technological progress. Suggestions for their improvement, which are always welcome, should be brought to the notice of the standards committees concerned. Changes to standards are issued either as separate amendment sheets or in new editions of standards.

7、 An up-to-date listing of CGSB standards, including details on latest issues and amendments, and ordering instructions, is found in the CGSB Catalogue, which is published annually and is available without charge upon request. More information is available about CGSB products and services at our Web

13、 organizations working towards the further development and improvement of voluntary standardization in the national interest. The principal objects of the SCC are to foster and promote voluntary standardization as a means of advancing the national economy, benefiting the health, safety and welfare o

14、f the public, assisting and protecting the consumer, facilitating domestic and international trade, and furthering international cooperation in the field of standards. A National Standard of Canada (NSC) is a standard prepared or reviewed by an accredited Standards Development Organization (SDO) and

15、 approved by the SCC according to the requirements of CAN-P-2. Approval does not refer to the technical content of the standard; this remains the continuing responsibility of the SDO. A NSC reflects a consensus of a number of capable individuals whose collective interests provide, to the greatest pr

16、acticable extent, a balance of representation of general interests, producers, regulators, users (including consumers), and others with relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject in hand. It normally is a standard, which is capable of making a significant and timely contribution to the

17、 national interest. Those who have a need to apply standards are encouraged to use NSCs. These standards are subject to periodic review. Users of NSCs are cautioned to obtain the latest edition from the SDO, which publishes the standard. The responsibility for approving standards as National Standar

34、DARDS BOARDORGANIC AQUACULTURE STANDARDSINTRODUCTION (Informative)I. DescriptionOrganic aquaculture production is a holistic system designed to optimize the productivity and fitness of diverse communities within the aquatic ecosystem, including benthic organisms, seaweeds, aquatic plants, aquacultur

35、e animals and people. The principal goal of organic aquaculture production is to develop enterprises that are sustainable and harmonious with the environment.This standard1describes the principles and management standards of organic aquaculture and provides lists of substances that are permitted for

36、 use in organic aquaculture.As in the case of all products sold in Canada, organic inputs, such as, but not limited to, fertilizers, feed supplements, pesticides, water amendments, veterinary treatments, processing additives or aids, sanitizing and cleaning material; and products derived from organi

37、c aquaculture, such as, but not limited to, feed and food, should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.Substances that appear on the Permitted Substances Lists are subject to the Pest Control Products Act (PCPA) or the Food and Drugs Act (FDA) when used in Canada as pesticides (PCPA),

38、sanitizers (PCPA) or disinfectants (FDA). Their presence on these lists only confirms their acceptability under the present standards. However, they can legally be used in Canada only if a product is registered for each particular use. Users can ascertain the legality of the use by consulting Health

39、 Canadas label database or by reading the directions available on each product label. Health Canadas Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) is the federal authority responsible for the regulation of pesticides2under the PCPA and Regulations. Disinfectants are regulated by Health Canadas Therapeuti

40、c Products Directorate (TPD) under the FDA and Regulations.Substances that appear on the Permitted Substances Lists are subject to the Food and Drugs Act (FDA) when used in Canada as veterinary drugs destined to food-producing animals and to the Feeds Act (FA) when used in Canada as livestock feed.

41、Health Canadas Veterinary Drugs Directorate is the federal authority responsible for the regulation of veterinary drugs under the FDA and Regulations. Animal feeds are regulated by the Animal Feed Division of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) under the FA and Regulations and the Health of A

42、nimals Act and Regulations.II. General Principles of Organic Aquaculture ProductionOrganic aquaculture production is based on principles that support healthy practices. These principles aim to increase the quality and the durability of the environment through specific management and production metho

43、ds. They also focus on ensuring the humane treatment of animals.The general principles of organic aquaculture production include the following:1. Protect the environment, minimize benthic degradation and erosion and water quality degradation, decrease pollution, optimize biological productivity and

44、promote a sound state of health.2. Maintain long-term biological stability by optimizing conditions for biological diversity.3. Recycle materials and resources to the greatest extent possible within the enterprise.1 References throughout this document to “this standard” refer to CAN/CGSB-32.312, Org

45、anic Aquaculture Standards.2 Pesticides as defined in this standard.CAN/CGSB-32.312-2012iv4. Provide attentive care that promotes the health and meets the behavioural needs of aquaculture animals.5. Prepare organic products, emphasizing careful processing, and handling methods in order to maintain t

46、he organic integrity and vital qualities of the products at all stages of production.III. Organic PracticesNeither this standard nor organic products in accordance with this standard represent specific claims about the health, safety and nutrition of such organic products.Management methods are care

47、fully selected in order to restore and then sustain ecological stability within the enterprise and the surrounding environment. Biological stability is maintained and enhanced by promoting optimal biological activity within the aquaculture production unit and the surrounding area. Weeds, pests and d

48、iseases are managed using biological and mechanical control methods, and cultural practices. Crop selection and fallowing are important for managing nutrient cycling, recycling of plant and animal residues, water management, augmentation of beneficial organisms for the promotion of biological divers

49、ity, and ecologically based pest management.Under a system of organic aquaculture production, aquaculture animals are provided with living conditions and space allowances appropriate to their behavioural requirements, and organically produced feed. These practices strive to minimize stress, promote good health and prevent disease.Organic products are produced and processed under a system that strives to preserve the integrity of the principles in this standard.Organic practices and this standard cannot assure that organic products are entirely free of r
