Premium
The amount paid by the aquaculture business to the insurance company for coverage. The premium is influenced by the risk level, value of insured assets, and chosen coverage options.
Replacement Cost Coverage
This insurance coverage pays the cost of replacing damaged or lost property without deducting for depreciation. For aquaculture, it's important for fully restoring operations after a loss.
Stock Mortality
Insurance covering the death of fish or shellfish due to insured perils such as diseases, oxygen depletion, or extreme weather. In aquaculture, this helps protect against the loss of livestock, which is a primary asset.
Liability Coverage
This insurance protects against legal liabilities to third parties for bodily injury or property damage caused by aquaculture operations. It's significant to manage risks associated with accidents or escapes that can harm the environment or other properties.
All Risk Policy
This policy offers broad coverage against all risks except those specifically excluded in the policy. In aquaculture, it provides extensive protection and is preferable for comprehensive risk management.
Indemnity Period
The period during which the insurance company will compensate the insured for the loss of income after a loss event. For aquaculture, this ensures continuity of business operations after a significant loss.
Hatchery Insurance
Protects against losses of broodstock, eggs, larvae, or juveniles in hatcheries due to insured perils. It's significant in aquaculture as the hatchery stage is crucial for the establishment of healthy stock.
Actual Cash Value
A valuation method that calculates the replacement cost of an insured item minus depreciation. In aquaculture, it affects compensation amounts, especially for equipment and facilities.
Named Perils Policy
An insurance policy that covers only the risks explicitly listed in the policy. For aquaculture, this could include perils like storms, predation, or theft, providing a tailored risk management strategy.
Pollution Liability
Provides coverage for claims arising from pollution caused by aquaculture activities. This includes unintended release of contaminants or non-native species. Pollution liability is vital as aquaculture operations can impact local ecosystems.
Equipment Breakdown
Coverage for the accidental electrical or mechanical breakdown of aquaculture equipment, like pumps or feeders. Essential for aquaculture where the reliance on technology is high for maintaining livestock.
Product Liability Insurance
Covers the aquaculture producer against claims of bodily injury or property damage caused by products produced by the aquaculture business. It mitigates financial risk associated with selling potentially harmful products.
Business Interruption Insurance
Provides compensation for lost income when a business is halted due to a covered loss, such as disease outbreak or natural disaster. In aquaculture, this helps maintain financial stability during recovery periods.
Deductible
The amount that the insured must pay out-of-pocket before the insurance company will cover the remaining costs of the claim. In aquaculture, a higher deductible can lower premiums but increases out-of-pocket risk.
Loss Adjustment
The process of assessing and determining the value of loss covered by an insurance policy. In an aquaculture context, it involves evaluating the loss of aquatic stock or equipment to calculate claims.
