Decoding Seafood Metrics risk ratings

Seafood Metrics Wild Fishery Risk Ratings

Seafood Metrics wild fishery risk ratings identify risk of assured supply in fisheries, based on FishSource’s wild fisheries assessment methodology, which evaluates management quality, stock health, and environmental impact. Wild fisheries are designated as low-, medium-, and high-risk, to help your business prioritize where to focus your resources. FishSource wild fishery risk ratings cover MSC-certified fisheries and FIPs, and are available for fisheries at-large.

Seafood Metrics evaluates improvement needs in aquaculture production, based on FishSource’s aquaculture methodology, which evaluates regulatory frameworks, producers’ codes of good practice, water-quality management, disease impact and risk reduction, and marine feed ingredient management. Aquaculture production improvement is measured at the state/provincial level by species, with designations of “significant,” “critical,” and “specific,” based on the degree of improvement needed to meaningfully improve environmental performance.
