Philippines — our biggest current project
We are working on tilapia slaughter: piloting an improved ice slurry method that reduces suffering at the point of slaughter while improving product quality.
The Ice Slurry ProjectImproving farmed fish welfare across Southeast Asia
We work with fish producers across Southeast Asia on interventions where better welfare and better product quality go hand in hand.
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 are still rare and slaughter practices receive little attention.
