The Barents Sea cod and haddock fisheries in cooperation with Ocean Trawlers Group are now certified as sustainable under the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) environmental standard for sustainable and well managed fisheries. Around 87 000 metric tonnes of Russian cod and 34 000 metric tonnes of Russian haddock will now be eligible to display the blue MSC ecolabel in the market place.
The certified Barents Sea fisheries comprise sixteen Russian vessels using demersal trawls to catch cod and haddock inside the Norwegian and Russian Exclusive Economic Zone and in international waters. Fishing for cod and haddock in the Barents Sea takes place all year round under the management of the Norwegian and Russian authorities. Atlantic cod and haddock are key components of the UK fish and chips market and the certified Barents Sea fisheries already supply a large part of that market. Ocean Trawlers expect that share to rise in 2011.
