The humane aspects regarding seafood are complex and varied. Some seafood options, such as scallops, are humane. Other options, like lobster, are cruel. Some seafood choices support fishing practices that result in bycatch. For example, for every one pound of harvested shrimp, four pounds of other seafood are caught (e.g. fish, turtles).
Currently there are no animal welfare certifications that certifies wild or farmed seafood production. In the future, we plan to address seafood when we can do so in a way that provides high value to our users.
