Today’s seafood consumers are increasingly interested in how their seafood is fished or farmed, while retailers and brands have strong business and ethical interests in promoting their sustainability credentials. In that context, being able to demonstrate that seafood is responsibly sourced is increasingly becoming core business for much of the global supply chain.
