Aquaculture in Southeast Asia has widely extended Good Aquaculture Practice (GAP) and any other similar global standards for food safety and environmental conservation. Government of Thailand has made much effort to establish a workable framework of GAP system in shrimp aquaculture in collaboration with private sectors. Modules of GAP consist of food safety, animal welfare, environmental conservation and social contribution, based on traceability. Together with the rapid expansion of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) adopted in processing plants, food chain approach in Thai shrimp industries has been achieved. This paper purposes to analyze the development process of GAP in coastal shrimp farming, and to identify how government supports to extend GAP over small-scale shrimp farming through a case study. This paper lastly discusses how process conformity is achieved in coastal shrimp farming.
