2、r 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 the production of voluntary standards in a wide range of subject areas through the media of standards committees and the consensus proces
3、s. The standards committees are composed of representatives of relevant interests including producers, consumers and other users, retailers, governments, educational institutions, technical, professional and trade societies, and research and testing organizations. Any given standard is developed on
4、the consensus of views expressed by such representatives. CGSB has been accredited by the Standards Council of Canada as a national standards-development organization. The standards that it develops and offers as National Standards of Canada conform to the criteria and procedures established for thi
5、s purpose by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to standards it publishes as national standards, CGSB produces standards to meet particular needs, in response to requests from a variety of sources in both the public and private sectors. Both CGSB standards and CGSB national standards are d
6、eveloped 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 revision to ensure that they keep abreast of technological progress. Suggestions for their improvement, which are always welcome, should
7、 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. An up-to-date listing of CGSB standards, including details on latest issues and amendments, and ordering instructions, is found in the
8、 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 site www.ongc-cgsb.gc.ca. Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note th
9、at it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all
10、the safety aspects associated with its use. Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjunction with any applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use. CGSB neither assumes nor accepts
11、any responsibility for any injury or damage that may occur during or as the result of tests, wherever performed. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Canadian standard may be the subject of patent rights. CGSB shall not be held responsible for identifying any or al

13、ards Board Gatineau, Canada K1A 1G6 The STANDARDS COUNCIL OF CANADA is the coordinating body of the National Standards System, a coalition of independent, autonomous organizations working towards the further development and improvement of voluntary standardization in the national interest. The princ
14、ipal 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 of the public, assisting and protecting the consumer, facilitating domestic and international trade, and furthering international cooper
15、ation 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 approved by the SCC according to the requirements of CAN-P-2. Approval does not refer to the technical content of the standard; this r
16、emains the continuing responsibility of the SDO. A NSC reflects a consensus of a number of capable individuals whose collective interests provide, to the greatest practicable extent, a balance of representation of general interests, producers, regulators, users (including consumers), and others with
17、 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 national interest. Those who have a need to apply standards are encouraged to use NSCs. These standards are subject to periodic review
18、. Users of NSCs are cautioned to obtain the latest edition from the SDO, which publishes the standard.

38、DUCTION (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, aquaculture animals and people. The principal goal of o
39、rganic 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 use in organic aquaculture.As in the case of
40、 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 organic aquaculture, such as, but not limited to, f
41、eed 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), sanitizers (PCPA) or disinfectants (FDA). The
42、ir 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 Canadas label database or by reading the dir
43、ections 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 Therapeutic Products Directorate (TPD) under the FDA an
44、d 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. Health Canadas Veterinary Drugs Directorate i
45、s 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 Animals Act and Regulations.II. General Princi
46、ples 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 methods. They also focus on ensuring the humane tr
47、eatment 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 promote a sound state of health.2. Maintain l
48、ong-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, Organic Aquaculture Standards.2 Pesticides as de
