Production method

Pond, extensive

Rating summary

This rating is for tiger prawns produced in extensive pond systems in Kalimantan for the Happy Prawn Company. Tiger prawns produced in extensive ponds require no feed inputs. There are many negative environmental impacts of prawn farming but many of these are mitigated or minimised by the Happy Prawn Co. producers, including the use of chemicals and destruction of mangroves. However, some negative environmental impacts remain and it is unknown if welfare and humane slaughter practices are in place. Management and regulation for the aquaculture sector in Indonesia is thought to be only partially effective in mitigating negative environmental impacts.Rating last updated November 2024
