Welfare Guides

The Animal Protection Blueprint for Industrial Aquaculture establishes a set of principles to help reduce suffering of billions of farmed aquatic animals today while preventing the expansion of industrial aquaculture into new species, production systems, and regions. It is authored by Aquatic Life Institute, the Center for Animal Law Studies (CALS), and the Multispecies Collective.

“Harmonizing Health and Welfare” underscores the need to treat animal health and animal welfare as complementary yet distinct pillars of sustainable aquaculture. This reflects the industry's dual responsibility to maintain the biological health of aquatic animals while enhancing their overall quality of life.
