Aquatic Life Institute (ALI) is proud to announce its pivotal role in the development of Blueyou's groundbreaking Animal Welfare Policy, the first of its kind for a sustainable seafood brand in the world. This collaborative effort represents a major shift towards integrating animal welfare considerations into the seafood industry and sets a new benchmark for other brands to follow.

The creation of this policy was a meticulous process in which ALI played a critical role. Our team provided extensive edits and suggestions to ensure that it not only meets but exceeds current animal welfare standards. The policy focuses on reducing animal stress and suffering, educating the supply chain, and committing to transparent progress reporting.

Some of its strongest elements include an ambitious plan to address critical issues in aquaculture, such as pre-slaughter stunning and mutilation, by December 2025. In addition, the policy promotes nature-based farming systems and lower trophic species, as well as robust measures on stocking densities and water quality.

Blueyou's new policy is part of a comprehensive set of 10 impact policies that reflect the company's holistic approach to responsible seafood and will impact various species of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks produced by the company. Notably, the policy also focuses on improving welfare in wild capture fisheries - a sector where welfare considerations are still in their infancy.

ALI and Blueyou are strongly committed to continuing their collaboration, not only to refine this policy but also to ensure its successful implementation in the years to come.

Hello FAST members   Two months ago we submitted to the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria  (Senasa), an agency attached to the  Ministerio de Desarrollo Agrario y Riego  (Midagri), a regulatory proposal aimed at incorporating specific provisions of Animal welfare in the land transport of farm animals. Currently, national legislation only addresses health and hygiene requirements, without establishing criteria to guarantee minimum welfare conditions during transport. This regulatory gap has negative consequences, as it increases animal suffering and the incidence of injuries and mortality, particularly in situations of stress or accidents during transport. Our proposal seeks to align Peruvian regulations with the regional and international standardsIn this sense, we highlight the positive openness of Midagri and Senasa to evaluate the initiative and the relevance of the interest expressed by the Comunidad Andina, which has been promoting regulatory harmonization in this area among member countries.  In this regard, we have already held a meeting with the group of lawyers from both institutions, as well as with the Andean Community, advancing discussions toward the creation of a joint guide to animal welfare in the Peruvian land transportation system. We trust that the incorporation of animal welfare criteria in transport will represent a significant advance in both animal protection and welfare in the country. Great day, Iselda Livoni Arba Peru
