- Towards global traceability for sustainable cephalopod seafoodPublication . Gleadall, Ian G.; Moustahfid, Hassan; Sauer, Warwick H. H.; Ababouch, Lahsen; Arkhipkin, Alexander I.; Bensbai, Jilali; Elegbede, Isa; Faraj, Abdelmalek; Ferreiro-Velasco, Pedro; González-Gómez, Roberto; González-Vallés, Carmen; Markaida, Unai; Morillo-Velarde, Piedad S.; Pierce, Graham J.; Pirro, Stacy; Pita, Cristina; Roumbedakis, Katina; Sakurai, Yasunori; Scheel, David; Shaw, Paul W.; Veiga, Pedro; Willette, Demian A.; Winter, Andreas; Yamaguchi, TadanoriCephalopods are harvested in increasingly large quantities but understanding how to control and manage their stocks, and tracking the routes of the consumption that exploits them, lag behind what has been developed for exploiting finfish. This review attempts to redress the imbalance by considering the status of the major cephalopod stock species and the traceability of cephalopod seafood along the trade value chain. It begins with a general overview of the most important exploited cephalopods, their stock status and their market. Four major cephalopod resources are identified: the three squid species Todarodes pacificus, Dosidicus gigas and Illex argentinus; and one species of octopus, Octopus vulgaris. The techniques and problems of stock assessment (to assess sustainability) are reviewed briefly and the problems and possible solutions for assessing benthic stock such as those of octopuses are considered. An example of a stock well managed in the long term is presented to illustrate the value of careful monitoring and management: the squid Doryteuthis gahi available in Falkland Islands waters. Issues surrounding identification, mislabelling and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing are then reviewed, followed by a discussion of approaches and techniques of traceability as applied to cephalopods. Finally, some of the mobile apps currently available and in development for tracking seafood are compared. This review concludes with observations on the necessity for the strengthening and international coordination of legislation, and more rigorous standards for seafood labelling and for taxonomic curation of DNA sequences available in public databases for use in seafood identification.
- Transforming aquatic food systems through digital traceability: a review of global challenges and opportunitiesPublication . Costa, Gisela; Pita, Cristina; Ferreira Alexandre, Teresa Sofia; Roumbedakis, Katina; Pontes, João; Hübel, Michelle; Rangel, MafaldaAquatic foods are among the most extensively traded food commodities globally, with increasingly complex supply chains and rising consumer demand for sustainable, ethically sourced, and legally compliant products. In this context traceability systems have emerged as vital tools for enhancing transparency, accountability, and resilience within these supply chains. This study presents a systematic review of the literature to identify key challenges and opportunities associated with the implementation of digital traceability systems in aquatic food supply chains. The review synthesizes evidence on diverse technologies, governance frameworks, and supply chain dynamics. The findings reveal that while technological innovation, such as blockchain and digital traceability platforms, show promising solutions for improving data management and efficiency, and enhance consumer trust, several barriers persist. These include high implementation and maintenance costs, technological barriers (e.g., complexity of data management and usability), stakeholder disinterest, unequal access to digital infrastructure, gaps in international cooperation and regulatory frameworks, and issues of system interoperability. Conversely, traceability presents multiple benefits, including enhanced supply chain efficiency, market access, stronger stakeholder collaboration, and alignment with consumer preferences for sustainable products. It also contributes to combating Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, enhancing fair labour practices, and promoting compliance with international standards. We conclude that inclusive, context-specific approaches (tailored to the diverse characteristics of fisheries, aquaculture, and small-scale operations) and crosssector collaboration are essential to address the challenges inherent in globalized supply chains and realize the full potential of traceability systems in advancing more sustainable, transparent, and resilient aquatic food systems.
