UK seafood body Seafish along with Global Aquaculture Alliance-backed Global Seafood Assurances (GSA) officially launched a new voluntary vessel-based certification standard June 11.
The Responsible Fishing Vessel Standard (RFVS) includes two core principles, vessel management and safety systems, as well as crew rights, safety and wellbeing.
RFVS is a revised version of Seafish's Responsible Fishing Scheme standards, which builds on the experience of the UK sector and reflects future industry needs across global supply chains.
