There’s a ‘lot’ to be gained from effective seafood traceability: On the need to enact strong control measures

As the European Union (EU) is the world’s largest trader of
fishery and aquaculture products, it is a significant factor in
international seafood sourcing. With two-thirds of fish stocks
worldwide either fully fished or overfished by a highly
opaque global fishing sector, robust traceability of seafood is
essential to ensuring that we are not inadvertently sourcing
our seafood from illegal fisheries. The ongoing revision of
the EU fisheries control system is a key opportunity to make
certain that only fully traceable seafood products find their
way to our grocery stores, fishmongers, restaurants and
dinner plates.
