Fish goes directly from the seasite to the slaughterhouse.
Only approved wellboats is used during transshipments of salmon between the site and waiting cages/harvest plant.
Biosecurity legislation and implemented QMS management system and procedures at the site and within the company
prevent the wellboats from visiting/ harvesting from other salmon farms/sites. The possibility for mixture of salmon in waiting
cages from salmon from other farm/sites is also prevented by biosecurity legislation and implemented QMS management
system and procedures at the site and within the harvesting/processing plant used.
There are slaughtered fish from only one waiting cage at a time in the harvest/processing plant
Transports are always identifiable on production unit level (cage).
All information is kept both in electronic system Fish Talk for production and Maritech system for Harvest/Post-harvest
operations and also in hard copies. / Los peces cosechados van directamente desde el centro de mar hastacentro de acopio

Planta de Proceso.
La regulación referente a la bioseguridad y la implementación de un Sistema de Gestión de la Calidads (SGC) y los
procedimientos implementados en el centro de cultivo y dentro de la empresa previenen la visita/cosecha de wellboats
provenientes de otros centros de cultivo/sitios. La posibilidad de mezcla de salmón en el Centro de Acopio desde otros
centros de cultivos/ sitios también se evita por medio de la regulación referente a la bioseguridad e implementación de un
Sistema de Gestión de la Calidads (SGC) y procedimientos del centro de cultivo y en el sitio cosecha/planta de proceso
utilizada.
En el lugar de la cosecha/planta de proceso hay peces sacrificados provenientes de sólo un centro de acopio, por vez.
El transporte siempre es identificable al nivel de la unidad productiva (jaula).

12.1
A report of the results of the audit of the
operation against the specific elements
in the standard and guidance documents
/ Reporte de los resultados de auditoría
para los Principios específicos de la
Norma y documentos guía.
The evaluation of the company`s compliance to the requirements in the ASC Salmon Standard and all references and findings is described in detail
in the report section II Audit template and section IV Audit Report Closing.
The principles where full compliance was found is listed below: Principle 1: “Compliance with all applicable local and national legal requirements
and regulations”. Principle 2: “Conserve natural habitat local biodiversity and ecosystem function”. Principle 3: “Protect the health and integrity
of wild populations”. Principle 4: "Use resources in an environmentally efficient and responsible manner" Principle 5: “Manage disease and
parasites in an environmentally responsible manner”. Principle 7: ”Be a good neighbour and conscientious citizen”. Section 8: "Standars for
suppliers of smolt". The principles where no full compliance was found is listed below: Principle 6:"Develop and operate farms in a socially
responsible manner" Full compliance was not found, although most of these were mainly compliant. The audit hence resulted in a limited number
of Minor category Non-Conformities. / La evaluación de la Compañía en el cumplimiento de los requerimientos del Estánsar ASC - Salmón, y
todas las referencias y hallazgos se describen en detalle en el reporte Sección " II. Audit Template" y sección "IV.Audit Report-Closing". Los
Principios en donde se encontró el pleno cumplimento se detallan a continuación: Principio 1: "Cumplir con todas las leyes y reglamentos
nacionales y locales aplicables". Principio 2: "Conservar el hábitad natural, la biodiversidad local y el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas"
Principio 3: "Proteger la salud y la integridad genética de las poblaciones silvestres" Principio 4: "Utilizar los recursos de manera eficiente y
responsable con el medio ambiente" Principio 5: " Controlar enfermedades y parásitos de manera responsable con el medio ambiente"
Principio 7: "Ser buen vecino y ciudadano consciente" Sección 8: "Estándar para proveedores de smolt" El Principio en donde no se encontró
pleno cumplimiento se detalla a continuación: Principio 6: "Desarrollar y operar centros de cultivo de una manera socialmente responsable"
En dichos Principios no se encontró el pleno cumplimento, aunque la mayoría se encontraban casi en total cumplimiento. De esta forma la
auditoría resultó en un número limitado de No Conformidades categorizadas como Menor.
Reference is made to ASC Farm certification and Accreditation Requirement 17.4.2 and 17.4.3. As the fish were not at harvest size during the audit,
harvest was not overseen by the auditor. The audit was timed without including harvest activities to allow the farm to benefit from certification
during the initially audited production cycle. The QMS system used related to harvest and procedures and methodology used for harvesting salmon
at the site/company was assessed. Harvest is planned to be observed and assessed during relevant surveillance audit of the site/company. / Se
hace referencia a los Requerimientos de Acreditación y Certificación (CAR) requisitos 17.4.2 y 17.4.3. Como los peces no estaban en el tamaño
de cosecha durante la auditoría, la cosecha no fue observada por el auditor. La auditoría fue programada sin incluir las actividades de cosecha
para permitir que el centro de cultivo logre la certificación durante el ciclo de producción auditado durante la auditoría inicial. El Sistema de
Gestión de Calidad utilizado relativo a la cosecha y procedimientos y metodología implementada en la cosecha de los salmones en el centro de
cultivo/empresa fue evaluado. La observación y evaluación de la cosecha está planificada para la auditoría de vigilancia delcentro de
cultivo/empresa.
