Details

As part of the Marine Management Organisation’s (MMO) ongoing work looking at enhancing provenance and traceability the MMO sought an assessment of approaches available for confirming by which method fish sold ashore were originally caught, to potentially support and verify other systems for managing compliance and enforcement. These approaches could apply to fish caught domestically and fish products imported into the UK requiring catch certificates.
