Estados Unidos — Guia de conformidade aquícola
US aquaculture compliance is split across federal agencies — FDA for seafood safety, USDA APHIS for animal health, NOAA and EPA for environmental and marine — plus state-level licensing. Exporters to the US must comply with FDA Seafood HACCP (21 CFR 123) and submit FDA Prior Notice on every shipment.

US aquaculture and US import both require FDA Seafood HACCP compliance and Prior Notice — full stop.
Competent authorities in United States
The regulatory framework is coordinated across: US FDA (seafood safety); USDA APHIS (animal health); NOAA Fisheries; EPA (water permits); US Army Corps of Engineers (marine siting). Roles overlap — every commercial project must maintain a single compliance register mapping each requirement to the responsible authority.
Primary regulations to plan for
21 CFR 123 (Seafood HACCP); Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA); Clean Water Act (NPDES); Endangered Species Act; Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation Act. These are the anchor instruments; there will be additional subordinate regulation depending on species, geography and destination market.
Permitting sequence in-country
Pre-screening, EIA, aquaculture licence, water permits, animal-health approval, construction permits, food-safety approval, export approval. Every downstream step depends on upstream approvals — never allow suppliers to start manufacturing before the permit chain is at least at construction-permit stage.
Export-facing considerations
Export-facing operations must maintain the national compliance envelope plus destination-market compliance. When these conflict, the strictest wins. Build the compliance envelope around the target export markets, not just the domestic market.
Interaction with financing
Development banks and blue-economy funds active in this jurisdiction will apply their own ESG framework in addition to national law. IFC Performance Standards, EIB Environmental & Social Standards and Equator Principles are the default frames.

- Assuming national law is enough — most jurisdictions require alignment with destination-market rules too.
- Signing supplier contracts before permits reach construction-permit stage.
- Missing local-language documentation requirements.
- Under-scoping local-content or joint-venture requirements where applicable.
