Question 15383 — aquaculture and professional fishing

Summary

Mr. Thomas Rudigoz draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the conditions of breeding and slaughter in the fish farming sector. Several animal protection associations in France recently carried out a survey on practices in aquaculture farms and slaughterhouses, highlighting genetic selection and the health status of fish, the high density and the lack of oxygen and hygiene in ponds as well as the record of numerous additives in their food. Several cases of brutal handling and slaughter without stunning were also reported. If the law for the balance of commercial relations in the agricultural and food sector and healthy and sustainable food has strengthened the consideration of animal welfare, in particular through the experimentation of video surveillance in slaughterhouses and the extension of the right for regularly declared associations whose object is the defense and protection of animals, to become a civil party for offenses of animal abuse, it is necessary to continue to make all sectors responsible. He would therefore like to know the measures that the Government intends to take to strengthen the standards governing the conditions of breeding and marketing of fish in the fish farming sector.
