Efforts have been taken to mitigate the negative impact on the environment. In Thailand, lab tests for diagnosing shrimp health or water quality are freely available for shrimp farmers who register with the government. Further, the traceability system in Thailand is well structured, requiring a “movement document” to be updated whenever shrimps are transferred between two parties at every stage, from hatcheries to processing factories. Through these efforts, antibiotic residues are no longer an issue in Thailand. Note: Tilapia multiplies so fast which may as a result cause over population which in turn cause food competition resulting to stunted growth. This is controlled by use of predators or manual sexing.

Another common problem with pisciculture is that a small percentage of fish are likely to escape from farms that use open cage systems. While this might be good for the fish who get out (although they may not know how to survive in the wild), it isn’t so good for the environment. Farmed fish might prey on, compete with, or spread disease to native wild fish populations. Siting World Food and Agriculture – Statistical Yearbook 2020. Rome: FAO. 2020. doi: 10.4060/cb1329en.
