“…16 ). As a group, aquatic foods are among the most highly traded food commodities, in part due to the increasing commodification of fishery products and the rise of foreign processing 17 . Between 1994 and 2012, global seafood trade nearly doubled 18 , generating over US$164 billion globally in export revenues in 2018 (ref.…”

Injustices are prevalent in food systems, where the accumulation of vast wealth is possible for a few, yet one in ten people remain hungry. Here, for 194 countries we combine aquatic food production, distribution and consumption data with corresponding national policy documents and, drawing on theories of social justice, explore whether barriers to participation explain unequal distributions of benefits. Using Bayesian models, we find economic and political barriers are associated with lower wealth-based benefits; countries produce and consume less when wealth, formal education and voice and accountability are lacking. In contrast, social barriers are associated with lower welfare-based benefits; aquatic foods are less affordable where gender inequality is greater. Our analyses of policy documents reveal a frequent failure to address political and gender-based barriers. However, policies linked to more just food system outcomes centre principles of human rights, specify inclusive decision-making processes and identify and challenge drivers of injustice.

“…Catches from the larger vessels are landed at one of 14 independent cold storage plants spread along the coastline, from which buyers ship the lots by cargo vessels to processing plants in Norway or abroad [39] with China as the largest direct market with processing for re-exports as the main activity [40] . Given Norway’s limited population, most of the landed fish is exported [41] .…”

“…These practices, and particularly the shorter season, had socio‐economic impacts in fishing communities as fish‐houses and processors operate in short seasons with capital being idle for the reminder of the year (Cojocaru et al, 2019). This has also led to alternative supply chains being served and often lower valued product forms being produced (Asche et al, 2022; Homans & Wilen, 2005).…”

Global insights on managing fishery systems for the three pillars of sustainability

There is growing recognition that fisheries should be managed for all three pillars of sustainability: economic, social and environmental sustainability. Limited quantitative evidence exists on factors supporting social sustainability, much less factors that contribute to multiple dimensions of sustainability. To develop a broader understanding of the factors that influence the performance of fishery management systems in environmental, economic and social pillars, we examine 11 input factors conjectured to contribute to successful fisheries using a global dataset of 145 fisheries case studies.The analysis indicates that management approaches are cross-cutting and contribute to multiple dimensions of sustainability to varying extents. Importantly, factors exogenous to fisheries management can be as important as fisheries management, suggesting collaboration of fisheries institutions with other public and private institutions is important for sustainable fisheries development.
