Safeguarding in Fisheries & Aquaculture - Crustacean Industry Welfare Hub

As the first stage in the sea to plate journey, the fishing sector is integral to ensuring high welfare standards.

Seafood processing involves a series of operations that pose welfare risks to decapods, from handling to slaughter.

Retailers of all sizes can influence decapod welfare standards through sourcing, handling and sales policies.

Food service businesses can be highly influential in the movement towards better decapod welfare standards.

Live export of decapod crustaceans is a major UK industry that poses considerable welfare risks for the animals being transported.
