While wild resources have dwindled in the oceans, farm-reared supplies have increased more than proportionately. Aquaculture will provide more than 60% of all aquatic production by 2030. At present, 70% of all salmon consumed worldwide comes from fish farms, often sourced from countries very far from the dinner table. This exposes global seafood supply chains to an increased probability of seafood risks occurring in their sourced products.
Such risks can be significantly diminished by implementing preventative methods to improve quality and safety of seafood products. SGS offers a wide range of solutions covering the entire supply chain assisting fish farmers, processors, traders and retailers. With a comprehensive range of independent inspection, testing, certification and technical support services specific for the seafood sector, we help companies worldwide to monitor and validate safety, quality, compliance and sustainability
