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
