What a great day. If the MSC wants to maintain a creditable position in the market place, then NOT having all of Alaska's salmon fisheries MSC certified is the best place to start! FACT, 31% of Alaska "wild" salmon are born in hatcheries. Meaning most of Alaska's salmon fisheries are far from sustainable.Alaska Salmon Fishinghttp://www.alaska-salmon-fishing-king.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270411085945892602.post-28073607689130482042012-03-14T19:59:09.985-07:002012-03-14T19:59:09.985-07:00Thanks Rainbow Runner.

What species, where was it caught, where was it processed? The frustrating thing is, as you point out, the MSC label does not link to this vital information. My guess is the fish were caught in an MSC certified fishery, perhaps in Canada, and then shipped offshore to be processed by cheap Chinese labour before returning to N. America in a package with the MSC logo.Fishyfellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949701858040108583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270411085945892602.post-18230221605202267902012-02-29T12:48:39.723-08:002012-02-29T12:48:39.723-08:00I was in our local supermarket (Loblaw's, Cana...I was in our local supermarket (Loblaw's, Canada) the other day and inspected a cooler of frozen fish fillets (various species). Half of them were MSC-labelled - and all of those so labelled were also labelled "Product of China". I don't think any Chinese fisheries have gotten MSC certification. So there is certainly a lack of information on MSC labelled products....<br /><br />Rainbow RunnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
