We had the pleasure of attending the Vietfish International Seafood Exhibition in Ho Chi Minh City and joined Optimar team for a field visit to the Mekong Delta at the end of August! 🌊✨ Our Corporate Engagement & Southeast Asia Coordinator, Lien-Huong Trinh, had the opportunity to engage with key industry stakeholders and discuss how shrimp welfare can be integrated into sustainable practices 🦐 It was an honour to connect with like-minded individuals and organisations dedicated to advancing the seafood industry. We would like to thank Innovation Norway and the Norwegian Embassy in Vietnam for their great efforts in organising and facilitating our visit. We look forward to further collaborations that promote high welfare standards across Vietnam and beyond! 🚀🌏

🌟 We’re thrilled to share that Sainsbury's has published a robust commitment to fish and shellfish welfare! We’ve had the privilege of supporting their journey towards higher welfare by granting stunners to some of their shrimp suppliers in Latin America and Vietnam, playing a key role in their transition to humane slaughter practices. Now, in collaboration with us and Stirling University, they’re trialling electrical stunning with their fresh and frozen shrimp farmers, aiming for full implementation by end of 2026 🦐 Sainsbury's commitment also covers other important practices aimed at improving aquatic animal welfare. These include avoiding long-duration live transportation, not selling live crustaceans, and ensuring all animals are free from routine mutilations, like eyestalk ablation. We’re excited to witness Sainsbury's strong dedication to improving aquatic animal welfare and are honoured to contribute to this highly important initiative. This progress marks a significant shift within the industry, setting a high standard for the treatment of aquatic animals 🚀

We are at the Global Shrimp Forum this week. Our partner Optimar will also be at the venue presenting their stunner which we offer to shrimp producers (for free!) through our Humane Slaughter Programme. Let me know if you would like to meet. #ShrimpFarming #GlobalShrimpForum
