The interests of the consumer are always foremost for aquaculture producers, be they small family farms or large companies. The ethos of the Federation of European Aquaculture (FEAP) is embodied in its Code of Conduct for European aquaculture. This Code was developed by experts and producers in consultation with a wide range of international bodies and was unanimously approved by the FEAP Assembly in 2000.

Such conduct is to assure sustainable development of the sector and the improvement in aquaculture techniques in order to produce food that is desirable and acceptable for the consumer. This Code is currently being reviewed in consultation with experts in many different fields to be able to provide practical guidance on issues concerning sustainability and the environment.
