Responsible Sourcing
Supply chain integrity, from farm to UK warehouse.
Sustainability in seafood supply isn't just environmental — it's also about traceability, labour standards, documentation, and the kind of consistency that lets buyers trust what's in their product.

02 · Our Commitments
What we guarantee on every shipment.
Lot-level traceability
Every shipment carries full provenance documentation — farm lot, processing date, cold chain record, and country of origin. Chain of custody available on request for any SKU.
Unbroken cold chain
Temperature-controlled from processing facility to UK cold storage, whether the shipment originates in India or another partner region worldwide. All shipments logged with time-temperature records, with no breaks in the chain.
Responsible aquaculture
Our own farms and partner operations hold BAP and ASC certification, subject to ongoing third-party audit. ASC is now in place across our primary supply operations, covering environmental and social responsibility standards.
Documentation on demand
Full spec sheets, nutritional data, allergen declarations, HACCP documentation, and country of origin certificates available for every product in our range.
03 · Aquaculture Practices
Responsible aquaculture at farm level.
We operate our own shrimp farms and processing facilities in Kodavalur, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, alongside partnerships with certified operations in other leading shrimp-producing regions.

04 · Ethical Trading
How we expect our supply chain to operate.
As the UK importer and distributor, Indo Aquatic is responsible for the conduct of the supply chain we sell into. These are the standards we hold ourselves and our suppliers to.
Fair and lawful trading
Indo Aquatic conducts business in line with UK trading law and expects the same of every supplier we work with — clear contracts, fair payment terms, and no tolerance for bribery or corruption.
No forced or child labour
We do not tolerate forced, bonded, or child labour anywhere in our supply chain, and we expect suppliers to uphold the same standard across their own operations.
Right to review our supply chain
We reserve the right to request evidence of labour and safety standards from any supplier, and to review or end a supplier relationship where standards are not met.
Open to scrutiny
We welcome questions from customers on how our supply chain operates and will respond directly rather than pointing to a certificate alone.
05 · Documentation
Available for every product, every order.
We don't ask buyers to request documentation weeks in advance. Everything listed below is available as standard, issued with or before shipment.
Request our full certification pack.
We'll send you the complete documentation set for any product in our range. Procurement, QA, and technical teams only — no marketing materials.
