A primary law governing marine fisheries management in U.S. federal waters, aiming to prevent overfishing, rebuild overfished stocks, and ensure a sustainable fishery.

Although primarily focused on the treatment of animals used in research and exhibition, it sets standards that can also implicate aquaculture practices, specifically those related to the well-being of cultured species.

A set of regulations that manage European fishing fleets and conserve fish stocks, directly impacting aquaculture through its associated rules and policies.

This act established a national policy for the development of aquaculture in the United States. It focuses on supporting aquaculture research, technology development, and resource management to increase production.

Regulations focused on the responsible use of antibiotics to prevent resistance, ensuring that antibiotics remain effective for treating disease in aquaculture species.

Regions in which human activity is restricted to protect the natural environment and biodiversity, with implications for aquaculture as activities may be limited or regulated.

Policies regulating the use of genetically modified fish and shellfish in aquaculture to address ethical, ecological, and food safety concerns.

Guidelines established to prevent farmed fish from escaping into the wild, which could cause ecological imbalance or outcompeting native species for resources.

Regulations on the practice of releasing cultured fish into the wild to support stock levels, ensuring the health and genetic diversity of the natural populations are maintained.

Policies supporting the research and monitoring of ocean acidification, a result of increased CO2 levels, which is critical for understanding potential impacts on shellfish and other aquaculture species.

An area extending from the baseline of a coastal state's territorial sea out to 200 nautical miles, within which the state has rights for exploring, exploiting, and managing natural resources which impacts aquaculture siting and jurisdiction.
