Philippines — our biggest current project
We are piloting an improved ice slurry slaughter method with milkfish and tilapia producers, reducing suffering at the point of slaughter while improving product quality.
The Ice Slurry Project →Improving farmed fish welfare across Southeast Asia
We're piloting an improved ice slurry slaughter method in the Philippines — better welfare for fish, better product for farmers and consumers.
The 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 and humane slaughter practices are still rare.
Where we work
Vietnam — scoped, next in line
Our 64-page scoping report on the farmed pangasius industry lays the foundation for future interventions in one of the world's largest fish-producing countries.

1. Identify
Field research to find the most cost-effective welfare interventions.
2. Pilot
Test interventions with producers on the ground, measuring welfare and commercial outcomes.
3. Scale
Spread what works across the industry to reach millions of fish.
