Seafood Application
All fish sold at AIM markets must be sustainable seafood. Sustainable seafood is defined as seafood from sources, either fished or farmed, that can maintain or increase production without jeopardizing the long-term structure and function of ecosystems impacted by industry practices. A fish seller may sell only fish caught in United States waters from the California/Mexico Border to the northern-most tip of Alaska within a 200-mile range of the U.S. coastline within the US Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Seafood harvested in Canadian waters is prohibited. Fish sellers may only sell fish caught by sustainable gear that does not damage habitat and take unwanted bycatch. AIM requires at least 51% of seafood sold at AIM markets to be fisher direct. Please read AIM’s Seafood Integrity Policy for all the requirements for participating fishers.
