Environmental Notes

• Fishmeal and fishoil from marine feed sources are used. Feed inputs are generally not traceable to species level and are not certified sustainable.
• Disease transfer between farmed and wild prawns is a concern for shrimp production in Vietnam.
• Pollution from nutrients and organic matter, as well as chemical inputs, may affect local water quality.

General Notes

• The environmental impacts described are addressed to some degree by certification.

Environmental Notes

• There is potential for the fishery to interact with sea turtles, sharks and rays, and marine mammals. However, the FIP Pre-Assessment indicates that the fishery is unlikely to catch ETP species.
• Grouper is caught in a multispecies fishery with snapper and other reef fishes. The impact of the fishery on baitfish species is unknown. The FIP aims to improve bycatch data collection and analysis.
• The impacts of this fishery on the sea bed are not fully known and likely vary by gear type. Line gear is unlikely to have a significant impact on the sea bed but gillnet gear may interact with benthic habitats.

General Notes

• This fishery is part of the Indonesia deepwater groundfish - dropline, longline, trap and gillnet FIP. LP Foods is an active participant in the FIP.

Environmental Notes

• The impacts of this fishery are unknown.

General Notes

• Grouper are caught in a multispecies fishery.

• This fishery is unlikely to have direct impacts on ETP species.
• Bycatch for this fishery is considered low.
• This fishery is unlikely to have a significant impact on the sea bed.

General Notes

• No additional notes.

Environmental Notes

• There are risks to sea turtles, sharks and seabirds with this fishery.
• Bycatch is a significant risk for this fishery.

Environmental Notes

• Fishmeal and fish oil from marine feed sources are used. The feed inputs used are generally not traceable to species level and are not certified sustainable.
• Disease transfer between farmed and wild prawns is a concern but infrequent water exchange on whiteleg shrimp farms moderates the risk. Whiteleg shrimp are not native to India and there is potential for ecological impacts from escapes.
• Pollution from nutrients and organic matter, as well as chemical inputs, may affect local water quality. Waste discharge from whiteleg shrimp ponds is typically limited to once per production cycle.

General Notes

• The aquaculture industry is currently managed under a farm-based approach.
• Shrimp farms are managed by the Coastal Aquaculture Authority through the Coastal Aquaculture Authority CAA Act and Guidelines, which acknowledge the importance of zonal management.

Waste discharge from whiteleg shrimp ponds is typically limited to once per production cycle, moderating the impact of effluents on water quality. There is a lack of data on the quantity of chemical inputs, but evidence suggests that illegal antibiotics are sometimes used on Vietnamese shrimp farms.
