Frozen food giant Iglo Group welcomed the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification of the Sea of Okhotsk fishery in Russia, calling it an "important step to secure fish fingers for future generations."

The company, a member of the Russian Pollock Sustainability Alliance, has worked with the Russian Pollock Catchers Association and other international brands over the last four years to support the certification.

The Sea of Okhotsk is the second largest whitefish fishery to achieve MSC certification, and this move will have a significant and positive impact upon the sustainability of global fish stocks, Iglo said.
