Philippines — our primary project
We are working on tilapia slaughter: piloting an improved ice slurry method that reduces stress at the point of slaughter while improving product quality.
The Ice Slurry ProjectImproving farmed fish welfare across Southeast Asia
We collaborate with fish producers and corporations to implement cost-effective, scalable solutions to optimise fish production and welfare.
Our work
Vietnam — scoped, next in line
Our scoping report on the farmed pangasius industry lays the foundation for future interventions in one of the world's largest fish-producing countries.
All our workThe problem
Over 70 billion fish are farmed worldwide for human consumption every year — and their welfare is generally neglected. Around 90% of these fish are farmed in Asia, where welfare standards are still rare and slaughter practices receive little attention.
Why we exist
Work with us
