The Chilean Salmon Antibiotic Reduction Program (CSARP) is an initiative between the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program and the Chilean salmon farming industry to reduce antibiotic use by 50% by 2025. The program is part of a broader collaboration to improve production practicesand reach a Seafood Watch Good Alternative recommendation
The program has defined specific guidelines at different levels (site, neighborhood, industry) to reduce the consumption and ecological impact of antibiotic use in the Chilean salmon industry. In addition, CSARP has identified various knowledge gaps to be addressed in collaboration with academic institutions and researchers to further the scientific understanding of the ecological impacts and performance gaps of Chilean salmonid aquaculture.
