[EVAD: Evaluation of aquaculture system sustainability.

Principles ;; Definition .

PrinciplesPrinciples: From Latin “principium” = “what serve as a basis” for the action to be taken towards an objective of sustainability.

• Should have general scope and acceptance.• Should be consider as a rule or habit.• Should be formulated as short statements, with actions verbs;

Contribute, ensure, adapts, strength…Examples:Examples:

Economic D. = Strength the Total Economic Value of the ecosystem.Social D. = Contribute to health and safety of workers.Environment D. = Minimize the impact of the activities on the environ.Governance D. = Promote participation in decision making process.



Criteria; Definition .CriteriaCriteria: Like a second-order principle.Brake down of Principles into several homogeneous elements to link with the characteristic of the system.

• Should have a more specific scope related to the issues.• Should identify variables.• Should be formulated expressing the degree or state of the variable.

Level of…Control of…Existence of …Access to…Capacity of…

Examples:Examples:Economic D. = Enrichment of biodiversity and comercial species.Social D. = Existence of efective health and safety plans.Environment D.= Control of feeding eficiency. Governance D. = Level of participation of stakeholders.



Indicators; Definitions .

IndicatorsIndicators: A simple way to express the information related to a variable or a process.

� Indicators are communication tools which serve to quantify and

simplify information in order to make it comprehensive to a target

audience.

� They are tools to assist monitoring, evaluation, forecasting and

decision making.

� Indicators illustrate the variation observed according to the

available data.

� They serve to judge if an action is effective or not.



Indicators; Attributes or qualities .



Attribute Definition

Relevance to criteria and principle it is relevant to goals of endorsed criteria and principle.

Understandability it is clear and perceived by all stakeholders in the same manner and is easily communicated.

Reliability it has a sound scientific base and methodology with successful previous use.

Reproducibility/verifiability it is capable of being reproducible at different time and places with verifiable results.

Data availability it is estimated/produced using available information/data or can be estimated/produced with reasonable cost/effort.

“Permanence on time” It last on the medium long term,

Transparency it is accessible by all stakeholders.

Availability of reference values it can be compared/monitored with some readily available reference points.

Acceptability / appropriateness it is endorsed by different stakeholders.

Robustness it is difficult to manipulate

Indicators; Examples .

Economic D.Economic D. = Enrichment of biodiversity and commercial species.Number of new species of commercial interest.

Social D.Social D. = Existence of efective health and safety plans. Yes/no

Environment D.Environment D.= Control of feeding eficiency. FCR

Governance D.Governance D. = Level of participation of stakeholders.

Number of participants at consultative meetings.
