Review of ecolabelling schemes for fish and fishery products from capture fisheries
This technical paper is part of a process by the Fisheries and Aquaculture Department of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to refine the minimum substantive requirements of the FAO guidelines for ecolabelling of marine capture fisheries, and to consider whether a single set of requirements could be developed that is adequate to assess both marine and inland capture fisheries. The document summarizes the standards, requirements and practices for well-managed fisheries as applied in internationally-managed fisheries and in national management of fisheries, taking into consideration the special needs and challenges in small-scale and inland fisheries, particularly those in developing countries. The importance of distinguishing between wild capture fisheries, enhanced fisheries and aquaculture in ecolabelling schemes is emphasized. The review concludes with suggested minimum substantive requirements for the FAO guidelines on ecolabelling of capture fisheries.
