“…Parties to the recent and specialized fish stocks agreement have explicitly agreed to accept such prohibitions whenever a port state inspection exposes IUU fishing [21,22]. The combination of international, regional and national laws aiming to regulate global market, do not strengthen the WTO's legitimacy as the central rule making organization for all trade.…”

“…Although it is addressed in the conditions of certification, in most cases, preventing IUU fishing clearly lies beyond the capacity of a single fishery, even if it is large and influential. The solution to IUU fishing in Russia, and in other countries [30], requires not only improved enforcement, but also addressing social issues. Increasing living standards and decreasing unemployment in remote settlements, where many inhabitants have access to fish resources, would help solve this problem.…”

The implementation of Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification in Russia: Achievements and considerations

A B S T R A C TThe Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification program in Russia is now well established and, in addition to fishery clients and stakeholders, involves environmental NGOs and experts familiar with the local management system. The present study aims to analyze the current status of the program and constitutes the first study covering all Russian MSC certifications. Based on certification reports and twenty semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, it was shown that problems with certification vary among fisheries. The most advanced in terms of management are the Barents Sea codfish fisheries, which are co-managed by Russia and Norway. The main concern of these fisheries is the use of bottom trawls, which may seriously affect bottom communities. The Alaska pollock fishery in the Sea of Okhotsk experienced serious pressure from rival fisheries during the certification process. In the Far East, interviewees dealing with the salmon fisheries note a high level of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and insufficient scientific data for comprehensive stock assessment. For small-scale inland perch fisheries from the central part of the country, recreational and illegal fishing are important problems that are difficult to quantify. Many interviewees repeatedly mentioned communication issues, difficulties with access to scientific and management information, and the overall complexity of the MSC certification process. The study shows that important preconditions to expanding certification are making the process manageable for export-oriented companies and developing a national market for sustainable seafood.

“…Thus, strict traceability systems must be in place for trade policies to have targeted effects on production practices. Without traceability, such differentiation will be rife with the same issues that affect tracing illegal, unmanaged and unreported (IUU) fish entering trade, and species mislabeling [39,40].…”

Trade intervention: Not a silver bullet to address environmental externalities in global aquaculture

Aquaculture has been the world's fastest growing food production technology in recent decades, and continued growth in aquaculture production is predicted. While creating economic opportunity, aquaculture is also a new way of using eco-systems, and there is substantial evidence that aquaculture creates negative environmental externalities. Although the most effective way to address these externalities may be improved governance, this approach is often difficult because most aquaculture production takes place in developing countries with limited management capacity. The fact that a large part of aquaculture production is traded motivates substantial interest in the use of trade measures to reduce environmental impacts. However, the wide variety of species, production practices, and governance systems present in aquaculture makes it unlikely that general trade measures will achieve environmental objectives. Rather, there is a real risk that trade measures will reduce economic opportunity, raise new equity concerns, and impinge on public health with little or no environmental impact.
