The nonprofit organization tracks conformance across 33 different conservation measures, which range from submitting quarterly purchase data and only conducting transactions with purse-seine vessels that have received information on best practices for reducing bycatch from ISSF.
ISSF said 21 of the 24 companies fully complied with all 33 measures, and the remaining three only recorded a single issue each – one on product labeling by species and area of capture and two on Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) yellowfin tuna rebuilding, known as Conservation Measure 1.3 (CM 1.3).
“This high level of performance reflects a strong industry commitment to continuous improvement and science-based tuna fisheries management,” ISSF President Susan Jackson told SeafoodSource. “Higher conformance rates have been reported in prior mid-year compliance reports, reflecting the remediation of some non-conformances.”
