To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will assess the potential merits of giving protected name status to Morecambe Bay shrimps.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will assess the potential merits of giving protected name status to Morecambe Bay shrimps.
We recognise the benefits of protecting our traditional and geographical food products and continue to work with producers to encourage protected food name (PFN) applications. Each application is assessed on its own merits and eligibility under the scheme. We would encourage producers to make applications for PFNs in order to promote high quality products such as Morecambe Bay shrimps.
The Protected Food Name (PFN) scheme enables producers to add value to their product and helps consumers to identify foods with a clear regional provenance.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if he will introduce measures to control and eradicate the invasive Dikerogammarus haemobaphes shrimp recently discovered in waters in and around Nuneaton.

As Dikerogammarus haemobaphes is widespread it is not feasible to eradicate it in the wider environment. DEFRA and its agencies are attempting to slow the spread of this and other invasive species by promoting better biosecurity among people who visit the water environment through the "Check, Clean, Dry" campaign.
To support this work DEFRA is looking to commission a scientific review of biosecurity and potential control measures for Dikerogammarus haemobaphes.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in which areas of England and Wales the invasive non-native Dikerogammarus haemobaphes shrimp has been discovered.

Dikerogammarus haemobaphes was first recorded in the River Severn in August 2012. Subsequent investigations in England and Wales have found that the shrimp is widespread in the rivers and canals of the midlands from Nottingham to Gloucester and in the River Thames from Lechlade to Staines. It has also been found in the Grand Union Canal near Northampton and the River Witham.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (1) what assessment his Department has made of the extent to which the invasive shrimp, Dikerogammarus haemobaphes, has become established in UK waterways;

On 26 September, the invasive shrimp “Dikerogammarus haemobaphes” was confirmed as having been found in samples collected from the River Severn at Bevere (near Worcester) and Tewkesbury. The Environment Agency has initiated a sampling programme to assess the distribution of this species within the Midlands region. Populations have now also been confirmed in the Worcester and Birmingham canal and the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal. DEFRA immediately commissioned a risk assessment for “Dikerogammarus haemobaphes” to assess the potential impact of this species in Great Britain. The results are expected imminently.
(2) what research his Department commissioned on the effect on UK waterways of the invasive shrimp, Dikerogammarus haemobaphes; and what information it holds about such research being conducted by other bodies.

[123177]
The four locations in which “Dikerogammarus villosus” has been recorded are all used for various types of water sports (including angling) so it is possible that the shrimp was introduced among wet equipment (e.g. boats, wet-suits, nets) that had been used previously in mainland Europe where the shrimp occurs.
A risk assessment for “Dikerogammarus villosus”, commissioned by DEFRA, concluded that the risk from this species is very high. This is based on the fact that the ecological impacts experienced in areas of Europe that the shrimp has colonised have been very large and dramatic; the species has already established large viable populations here; that Britain is climatically similar to many of the places in Europe that the shrimp has invaded; and that the interconnectivity of the water network will facilitate rapid spread.
At the four locations where “Dikerogammarus villosus” has been recorded, the routes by which the shrimp might escape from the sites have been assessed and a range of control measures have been put in place. Additionally, in partnership with a number of interested organisations, DEFRA is trying to slow the spread of “Dikerogammarus villosus” by ensuring that all equipment and clothing that is used in water sports is checked, cleaned and dried before it is used elsewhere. Information on the “Check, Clean, Dry” campaign and associated guidance is published on the Non-native Species Secretariat website.

That this House is deeply concerned about environmental destruction and social injustice caused by shrimp production in many developing countries; is alarmed that shrimp fisheries are responsible for one third of the world's discarded catch, despite producing less than two per cent. of global seafood; is also alarmed that shrimp farming has resulted in the destruction of critical wetland habitats, pollution of terrestrial and marine environments and increased pressure on coastal resources; is concerned that these impacts are depriving rural people of traditional livelihoods in some of the poorest countries in the world and that shrimp farming has been associated with violence and serious human rights abuses, including child labour, rape and murder; recognises that an estimated 99 per cent of farmed shrimp are produced in developing countries, mainly throughout Asia and Latin America, most of which is for export to Europe, the USA and Japan; calls upon the Government to take action to ensure that all shrimp entering the UK have been produced in a manner that is both environmentally sustainable and socially equitable; and calls upon the government as a first step to take a lead to ensure the adoption of a United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation international plan of action of bycatch reduction.
