Why British Tilapia Makes Sustainable Sense
Monday 13 June 2011
The Fish Company prides itself on the ethical and sustainable way it is producing British farmed tilapia on its farms in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Here are a few of the reasons why its fresh British tilapia makes such sustainable sense.
- The fresh British tilapia produced by The Fish Company is 100% British and 100% traceable with proven provenance
- The tilapia are fed on the best sustainable feed from Skrettings - a highly reputable source. The feed is 100% GM free and contains only low levels of approved fishmeal
- The tilapia are not hormone treated and are reared in new, bespoke closed recirculation systems which helps prevent disease and the need for antibiotics
- Because of the use of sustainable feed and the production methods The Fish Company's systems are Net Fish protein producers
- The Fish Company is committed to the very highest standards of animal welfare, follow agreed UK protocols
- Compared to imported tilapia, fresh British tilapia travels far fewer food miles, has a much lower carbon footprint and takes only a fraction of the time from harvest to customer
- Tilapia is rated 'one' by the Marine Conservation Society which indicates it is one of the most sustainably produced seafood products available
- Fresh British tilapia is available all year round - but is never frozen and because of the sustainable production methods used there is no impact on ocean stocks or marine ecosystems
Fresh British tilapia is produced by British farmers who share a passion for producing high quality, ethically reared fresh fish - that tastes great too! For more information on why fresh British tilapia is a sustainable choice visit:
