Its therefore important to pay key attention to all the steps, mechanisms, systems including fish health management structures that are involved in production of farmed aquatic foods in this current blue economy.

Learning Objectives:

To provide learners with knowledge that relates

1. production systems to quality and safety of farmed fish products
2. health management systems to quality and safety of farmed fish products
3. quality and safety management systems in farmed fish production to the Blue economy structures
