Rating summary
Land based farmed Arctic char is a good choice to make when looking for an oily fish. The use of land based production systems addresses many issues of environmental concern that can be associated with farmed fish production such as organic and chemical waste deposition, escapes and habitat impacts. Arctic char has a lower requirement for fish in its diet compared to other salmonid species and in UK production, and responsibly sourced feed is used. This assessment also scores well for welfare and management but would benefit from 3rd party certification.Rating last updated May 2022.
