摘要：The quality and safety of aquaculture products have to be a major concern for the fish farmers in order to ensure the sustainability of the aquaculture industry. The sustainable development of the Romanian aquaculture involves complex studies and researches taking into consideration the biosecurity of aquaculture production and aquatic food safety as a result of supervision of health risks for consumers linked to raw materials,to aquaculture practices and food processing activities. The safety of aquaculture products depends on the pathogenic agents that may occur in the aquatic ecosystem,on the environmental contamination from agriculture and industrial wastes and deficiently treated urban wastes as well as from the dangers introduced during processing by handles and the environment. These aspects demand an integral focus on the whole food chain from primary production in the fish farm to consumption and will serve to protect consumers’ health taking into account the economic,social and the environmental repercussions. The success of Romanian freshwater aquaculture sector depends on farmers abilities to face these challenges. Ensuring food safety for aquaculture products along the production flow needs a scientific base that is not enough developed at national level. The presence of fish farms safety hazards that can lead to public health concerns should be prevented or minimise. A risk based approach to fish farms requires that adequate measures should be applied at critical points in the production and distribution chain. The Hazard Analysis and Critical control Point (HACC) principles are a valuable element. Application of a selfchecking system based on these principles is an important instrument to control hazards in a fish farm. Once the system has been established,the main efforts for guaranteering quality will be aimed at the critical control points (CCP) and distant from the interminable tests on the end product. So,up to date,in Romania,there are not enough scientific evidences proving that the traditional aquaculture does not present any contamination risk along the food channel production. A total control of the food chain using traceability allows immediately location of the origin of any incident or potential risk or even a simple suspicion of one risk to health which occurs in the food chain. Therefore it has to be correct implemented in all stages through which the aquaculture products pass.
