Rating summary

Unlike open net pen fish farming , Seriola can be farmed in enclosed land-based production systems that have little or no direct environmental impact. However, Seriola are a carnivorous species which require a high percentage of fishmeal and fish-oil in their diet, which makes them a net user of fish protein rather than a net provider. The wild fish on which they rely cannot, as yet, be assured to come from a sustainable supply.This rating is based on full compliance with certification requirements. Commercial buyers should therefore ensure that full compliance has been achieved in order for this rating to be applicable.Rating last updated June 2020
