Elements of Seafood Traceability • Traceability Standards – Mandatory standards - e.g. OIE, CAC and Bioterrorism Act – Voluntary standards - MSC CoC, NFI GS1, ISO 22000
• Drivers for traceability • Stakeholders – Directly involved in the supply chain – Indirectly affected by traceability
• Tools and solutions – Software or systems / procedures
• Testing / validation – First, second and third party auditing – Verification, certification
• Effective traceability

Traceability Standards • What data to collect? – Fisheries - Catching vessel, period, location, licence, quota – Aquaculture - Farm, hatchery, inputs, feed (and above)
• System design – Prescriptive v Flexible
• Unit of traceability • Consequences of batch mixing • Retailer standards, requirements for commerce • Benchmarking • Transparency of development and standard implementation Document control number

Drivers • Typically has been quality driven but now driven by sustainability objectives – Supporting sustainability commitments
• Within the direct control of businesses • IUU mitigation • Competitive advantage / marketing • Demonstrating good practice • Internal and external (full-chain) traceability objectives

Testing, Auditing, Verification • Credibility • Issues relating to confidentiality • Assurance • Legal compliance • Internal audits, customer audits, product certification • Supporting a claim, a guarantee or letter of warranty • Certification and accreditation programme • Necessary to audit the entire supply chain to vessel checking technical records at each stage

Effective Traceability • Achievement of traceability objectives – Is the traceability system sufficient? – Is it efficient?
• Collection of data on source and verification of accuracy • Robust data exchange between participants • Continuous implementation and monitoring throughout commercial pressures • Communications along the supply chain • Verification reports must be acted on and decisions made to implement required corrective actions Document control number
