Sustainable seafood, also known as sustainable seafood and environmentally friendly seafood, refers to a kind of seafood that is caught or cultured according to the sustainable development strategy.

through the guarantee of the source, the sustainable seafood can maintain the output of seafood, whether from fishing or aquaculture, without affecting the ecosystem of its source.

At present, the sustainable seafood movement has gained considerable influence in Europe and North America, because more and more people realize the bad influence of overfishing and fishing practices that are harmful to the environment. At present, there are many sustainable marine certification bodies in both places, which provide certification services for the production and sale of sustainable fish and fresh fish.

However, in Asia, after years of efforts, the results of related sports are still limited. The World Wide Fund for Nature launched the "Seafood Choice Campaign" in 21, and the Hong Kong branch did not participate until 27 to educate the public about the "impact of endless appetite on fish and marine ecology".

definition of sustainable seafood

generally speaking, slow-growing fish will start to breed in their later years. These species, including orange roughy, are easily overfished. However, seafood species such as anchovies and sardines, which grow rapidly and reproduce when they are young, are relatively easy to resist overfishing. Several organizations, including the Marine Management Committee and Friends of the Sea, can certify sustainable fisheries.

there is a Sustainable Fisheries Act in the United States, which defines the code of sustainable fisheries by setting national standards. In the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) established FishWatch to help guide consumers' choices about sustainable seafood.

The position of the Fisheries Department of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on sustainable seafood is to comply with the ten national standards of the magnuson Fisheries Conservation and Management Act, and it cannot be inconsistent with other applicable laws and regulations, such as the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Life Act.
