Digitalisation can add value to catches and build efficiencies in supply chains, whilst also contributing to scientific data collection and sustainable practices. Information captured on a digital platform, shared under a set of permissions with stakeholders, has the potential to improve the safety, efficiency, value and sustainability of seafood supply chains, and in turn increase consumer confidence.
This meeting will look closely at how the industry is moving towards end-to-end digital traceability of the whole seafood supply chain. This will cover how this transition is being managed, and the emerging technologies and supporting infrastructure that are being developed to support this.
If digital traceability is the goal, what are the short and long-term aims for both a catcher and buyer perspective. During the morning session we will highlight the work that is going on in the UK with a focus on case studies and seafood traceability projects. The afternoon session will look at ‘big data’ and international initiatives, taking a broader look at technical capabilities, market requirements and barriers to adoption.

Seafood Issues Groups
The CLG is one of a number of Seafish-facilitated discussion forums which focus on the integrity of the seafood supply chain. These groups provide a discussion platform for some of the most important issues facing the seafood industry, particularly in relation to the responsible sourcing of seafood. They are an opportunity for all those involved in the seafood supply chain to reach a consensus on common issues.
