The Ice Slurry Project

Our biggest current project: piloting an improved ice slurry slaughter method with milkfish and tilapia producers in the Philippines.

Our approach

Working with producers on the ground, we are implementing an improved version of the ice slurry slaughter method already familiar to the industry — designed to reduce suffering at the point of slaughter. The full details of our method are set out in our draft protocol.

A win-win-win

Fish — less suffering at slaughter.
Farmers — better product quality, shelf life and price.
Consumers — higher quality fish with a story to tell.
