DRAFT STANDARDS FOR RESPONSIBLE SHRIMP AQUACULTURE
The Shrimp Aquaculture Dialogue (ShAD) has developed a comprehensive set of standards for shrimp farming, focusing on seven core principles: legal compliance, biodiversity conservation, community relations, responsible labor, shrimp health and welfare, broodstock management, and resource efficiency. The standards aim to reward the top 20% of producers by setting ambitious yet practical performance thresholds. Key requirements include the use of Biodiversity Environmental Impact Assessments (B-EIA) and participatory Social Impact Assessments (p-SIA), strict prohibitions on the use of transgenic shrimp and certain antibiotics, and mandates for the sustainable sourcing of feed ingredients. The standards apply to all scales of shrimp farming worldwide, specifically targeting species in the genus Liptopenaeus and Penaeus.
