The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said Tassal was the first aquaculture company to recieve full Aquaculture Stewardship Council certification.
While other producers have secured the certification for part of their operation, Tassal is the first to receive blanket coverage for every aspect of a fish-farming venture.
Tassal accounts for more than 50 per cent of the domestic salmon market.
Head of Sustainability at Tassal Linda Sams said Australia was expected to import more than 1,000,000 tonnes of seafood by 2020.
"[That's] incredible considering the country's potential to farm our own stocks locally," she said.
"There is a clear opportunity here for local growth to meet the demand for responsibly produced salmon."
Recently I was surprised to find that symbol on Kleenex toilet paper, so I bought it over my usual Quilton, same price.
