FishChoice Supplier Member, Hainan Tilapia Sustainability Alliance recently released a new report- A Code of Good Practice for Hainan Tilapia Farming which "aims to provide technical guidance on how to raise tilapia in a most efficient and responsible way that prevents from generating disease and pollution from tilapia farms." According to Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP), this is a "landmark aquaculture improvement project (AIP)" for Chinese tilapia. According to Anton Immick, SFP's Aquaculture Director, “This AIP is the best example of a zonal AIP in the world and also one that has strongly transitioned from SFP to industry-led."
