Working on improving the lives of farmed fish, a neglected problem with enormous scale, in the Philippines and Vietnam

Around **4,000 fish are killed in industrial farms every second** and 73-180 billion fish are being farmed at any given time. There’s an [abundence of evidence](https://www.canva.com/link?target=https%3A%2F%2Fpmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Farticles%2FPMC9100576%2F&design=DAGj7Qj3OhY&utl=h29e626b61a&accessRole=owner&linkSource=document) that fish are sentient and experience pain, meaning that farmed fish are suffering at an unfathomable scale, particularly in Asia which farms 90% of the world’s farmed fish. This is [twice the number of fish](https://https://animalcharityevaluators.org/charity-reviews/causes-we-consider/#farmed-animals) as there are land-based farmed animals worldwide. 

Despite this enormous scale of suffering, **farmed fish welfare receives virtually no attention or resources**—especially in Asia where conditions are often severe and regulations minimal.

**Scale Welfare is working to find solutions that actually work.** We're conducting rigorous field studies in the Philippines and Vietnam to test multiple intervention approaches and identify the most scalable and cost-effective ways to improve farmed fish welfare.

Scale Welfare was **incubated through Ambitious Impact's Charity Incubation Program**, which helped us develop our evidence-based approach to this neglected cause area.

Our research will determine which interventions- whether farmer training, improved systems, or policy changes—can create the greatest impact. **Once we identify what works, we'll pilot and scale these solutions** to improve conditions for millions, potentially billions, of farmed fish.

**Your donation helps us:** conduct the research needed to identify effective solutions, support field studies testing different approaches, and build the groundwork for potentially scaling welfare improvements.
