Seafood Traceability


Taking a global approach, research on the ‘traceability’ of fish and seafood throughout the stream of commerce will offer lessons learned and examples of success, with the goal of furthering the development of tracing abilities and technologies in various regions.  Research into seafood tracing logistics and the array of public-private tracing partnerships will aim to further developments in this area.  Further, analysis of the associated safety benefits, rapid developments in technology (e.g. the role of the internet), and growing consumer demand will illustrate the opportunities for governments and the industry. Research on traceability will also look at and compare regulations employed in various jurisdictions.
