Catch Welfare
Platform

We are an industry-science driven platform to create pragmatic solutions to improve animal welfare in fisheries

What’s the catch?

There is a growing public interest in the subject of fish welfare. Research shows that 91% of European consumers (China; 87%. USA 78%) believe that fish deserve the same protection as other consumptions animals.
More and more supermarkets are setting requirements for the welfare of the seafood products they buy and sell.
The subject is also increasingly on the agenda of governments.
There is growing evidence that the introduction of welfare-responsible fishing practices could lead to improvements in sustainability, product quality and shelf-life, in addition to the ethical standing of the fishing industry.
