Seafood Ecolabelling (PDF)

SEAFOOD Ecolabelling Principles and Practice

Edited by Trevor Ward and Bruce Phillips

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

Seafood Ecolabelling is an essential purchase for all those
involved in fisheries and aquaculture management and product
certification and ecolabelling throughout the world. Professionals
including fishery scientists and managers, fish farm managers,
marine biologists, environmental biologists, conservation
biologists, ecologists, natural resource managers, civil society
and sustainability governance practitioners, and resource and
environmental economists will find this book to be extremely
valuable. Professionals involved in the seafood trade, including
those in production, packaging, reselling and seafood product
labelling, will find a great deal of commercial interest within
this book. Libraries in all universities and research
establishments where biological sciences, food science and
fisheries are studied and taught should have copies of this
important book on their shelves.
