Does Seatopia Use Antibiotics in Its Fish?Updated 12 days ago

Seatopia has a strict zero-tolerance policy for the preventative use of antibiotics.

None of our farm partners use antibiotics as a routine feed additive or preventative measure. This is a non-negotiable condition of every partnership we maintain.

A small subset of our farms do maintain the right to treat an individual animal for a specific illness under the guidance of an on-site veterinarian. That animal is quarantined for a minimum of 30 days to ensure no detectable antibiotic levels remain before it can be reintegrated into the population or considered for harvest. Legislation around antibiotics has become much more stringent in recent years, with some countries banning their use entirely in aquauculture, or heavily regulating (Norway). Many antibiotics that are used in human treatments are prohibited under national and international legislation.

Our philosophy is prevention through nutrition and environment. Building robust immune systems in our fish through proper husbandry, clean water, appropriate stocking densities, and species-appropriate feed. This is what the Seatopia Standard looks like in practice: clean seafood starts with clean farming.
