The latest update is that the largest seafood industry in Canada will be removing more seafood products from its selling list due to un-sustainability. There has been a significant amount of sea products which has been removed from the market and these species are the sharks and the bluefin tuna among many other aqua life.
The cost of removing those species from their chart might cost them $250,000 yearly but the company main concern is to provide sustainable seafood and maintained the good reputations of the business. The vice- president of Vancouver- based Albion Fisheries Ltd Mr. Guy Dean said that they will not trade with seafood which is not traceable and certified by the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) as sustainable.
Some fisheries have gains the MSC certifications and other not, this is the reason why the company removed the Chilean sea bass from its list in 2005. In 2010, the sharks and the bluefin tuna were also added to the list of unsustainable seafood. The Albion’s company is owned by Gordon Food Service Canada and 50% of its seafood is sold to its retailers while the rest are purchased by the food service outlets. Mr. Dean highlighted that the company is committed to constant challenges about delivering the best quality products and move toward sustainable seafood. This is the only way to maintain and serve clients accordingly and preserve the natural resources.
