The World Wildlife Fund recently announced new global standards to certify the responsible farming of tilapia
Tilapia farmers who will earn this prestigious certification maintain coastal water safety standards and minimize the use of harmful chemicals in tilapia production. The new standards will reassure buyers, retailers and consumers that the environmental impact of aquaculture is minimized and that compliance with government regulation has been met.
The world’s tilapia industry produces 2.3 million metric tons of tilapia each year, with 73 percent coming from fish farms. The World Wildlife Fund’s new standards grew out of open discussions between the stakeholders in the tilapia industry and their desire to see uniform standards applied to an industry that struggles with uneven product quality from its farmers across the globe.
Regal Springs Tilapia, the largest independent aquafarmer of tilapia in the world, played a crucial role in the four-year effort to establish these new guidelines, the gold standard for tilapia certification. As a member of the World Wildlife Fund’s steering committee on tilapia standards, Regal Springs worked to reach a consensus with 150 other stakeholders, including a group of tilapia producers, seafood buyers and non-profit organizations to draft the standards. No small task.
