Danish blue shell mussel fishery obtains MSC certification

The Danish Isefjord and East Jutland blue shell mussel fishery has been certified as a sustainable and well-managed fishery against the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) environmental standard. This is the eighth fishery in Denmark to obtain MSC certification and products from the fishery will be eligible to carry the internationally recognized, blue MSC ecolabel. Becoming MSC certified means that the fishery now provides an additional 5,000 tonnes of MSC certified fish to consumers, adding to the already impressive Danish quantity of more than 100,000 tonnes sustainably caught seafood yearly.

Danish Catch Quota Management Project 2010

Catch-quota management (CQM) is a result based management where targets (catch quotas, where all fish count on the fishers quota) are set, and the choice of method in harvesting is left to the exploiter together with the obligation to document (by E-log and CCTV) that targets are observed. At present management needs time to prepare and legislate and it regulates with rigid and uniform rules. This is problematic in an environment where the ideal harvesting pattern is highly complex and variable, and it often leads to conflict between regulation and fishermen’s perception of the best practice. In contrast a result based management incentivizes the exploiter to continuously adapt and improve his fishery against the targets, which in fisheries policy coincides with the main objective, namely the observance of removals of fish according to the MSY principle.
