This paper examines current experience and emerging issues related to ecolabelling and certification schemes in marine capture fisheries. It describes the history of ecolabels and the variety of certification schemes, and analyses the market penetration of ecolabelled products. It discusses the opportunities and challenges for the various stakeholders in the fish and seafood supply chain (producers, processors, retailers, governments and consumers) and examines the specific challenges faced by d eveloping countries, as well as the implications for international trade. It raises questions about who and what is driving ecolabels, with what costs and benefits for whom, and with what implications for the future sustainability of the world’s fisheries.
