A number of high-profile cases of mercury poisoning causing developmental disorders in the 1950s and 1960s dealt a body blow to the seafood industry, scaring parents into literally taking seafood out of the mouths of their children. The terror continues to this day, despite modern science showing the fears are unwarranted.
In this on-demand webinar, we'll hear the truth about how safe seafood is to eat, even for pregnant women and young children, and how you can get the message across to your customers.
Attendees will learn how consumer and healthcare provider surveys guided the development of www.seafoodhealthfacts.org, along with what the site has to offer. Attendees will also learn how the theme "Framing the Message" came about and what the new road map is for guiding consumers along the path of optimal seafood consumption.
More and more seafood operations on both the fisheries and farmed side are seeking sustainability and the credentials that go with it, intent on establishing their products as socially and environmentally responsible. This journey toward sustainability often leads to some familiar places, including to the doors of renowned certification bodies such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC). When it comes to sustainability certification, MSC and ASC have seen most everything – join Nicolas Guichoux, the global commercial director at MSC, Esther Luiten, the senior commercial manager for ASC, and SeafoodSource in a discussion of the modern trials and trends facing the seafood industry in the realms of sustainability and certification.

During this FREE 30-minute webinar, Seafood consultant Joseph Sabbagh will briefly discuss key findings from the report, Chinese Seafood Consumers: A Survey of Retail-Purchasing Behaviors. This interactive webinar will allow you to ask questions and determine your significance as a distributor or retailer in the Chinese seafood market.
Dr. Mike Fabinyi, a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Technology Sydney, will present the results of ongoing research on Chinese seafood consumption. Mike’s research is based on interviews and surveys with seafood restaurant operators, traders and consumers in China over several years. It assesses changing patterns of seafood consumption, the factors affecting these changes, and attitudes, practices and governance initiatives relating to environmental sustainability in this market.
Consumers rely on seafood companies to ensure that their products are safe to eat, are sustainably harvested and are brought to market in a responsible and ethical manner. In the wake of media reports detailing human rights abuses on fishing vessels and in processing facilities, the proper treatment of workers has come to the fore — it's also a major focus of the SeaWeb Seafood Summit in New Orleans, La., USA (9 to 11 February 2015).
Join SeafoodSource in an important on-demand discussion about the conditions that allow human rights abuses to persist in the seafood industry and the success stories from groups and companies that are strengthening the social components of their procurement policies.
Sean Murphy moderates a webinar featuring two panelists, Barbara Blakistone, senior director of scientific affairs for the National Fisheries Institute and Ian Dyslin, consulting director with Junction Solutions. The panel will discuss trends in seafood processing and the role technology will play.
