The objective of this paper was to describe the application of the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) salmon certification applied in two commercial salmon farming centers in the Los Lagos Region in Chile. For which the audit process of the ASC salmon certification was first described, carried out by the author of this work fulfilling the role of auditor for both audits, considering the principles that apply and the criteria evaluated during the audit process. This certification program was carried out in May and July, 2022, where information was collected to evaluate compliance with the requirements of the ASC Certification, in CE1 that produces Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) and CE2 that produces Coho Salmon (Oncorrhynchus kisutch) located in the Seno de Reloncaví, Puerto Montt. In both certification processes, the 8 principles of ASCsalmon were evaluated; however, for the purposes of the paper, 2 principles were evaluated and, particularly, on 4 criteria that are related to sediment sampling and análisis to determine compliance or not with the standard ASC salmon. The sediment analysis is presented to the auditor, through a preliminary report carried out by duly accredited consultants and external laboratories, contracted by the company that opts for the certification. The information used for the characterization and assessment of the impacts was carried out based on the sampling of sediments in the polygon defined as the Allowable Zone of Effect (AZE) and outside of it. The result of the audit and subsequent certification indicate that both fattening centers achieve an adequate level of compliance, therefore, the ASC salmon certification is granted.
