Description
An essential purchase for all those involved in fisheries and aquaculture management and product certification and ecolabelling throughout the world.

In recent years there have been some major developments and a greatly increased recognition of the importance of more sustainable and environmentally-friendly fishing and fish-farming methods. Various types of seafood eco-endorsements have been introduced, and these initiatives have now blossomed into an extensive range of types of product endorsement labels and systems.

This volume comprehensively reviews the current eco-endorsement systems for seafood products, described in four main sections with contributions by leading experts from around the globe:
  • A full description of the background and history of ecolabels, ratings, guides and choice systems
  • Seafood evaluation and certification, including issues of quality, costs and benefits
  • Highly significant case studies in the use of ecolabels, including details of programs undertaken with species such as pollock, Baja red spiny lobster, and Patagonian toothfish
  • The future of sustainable seafood
