Description In the year 2020, the global fisheries and aquaculture
production reached a record production of 214 million
t which was worth USD 424 billion and provided food,
livelihood and economic benefits to several million people
(The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture, FAO, 2022).
The seafood trade was valued at US$151 billion and nearly
60% of the volumes traded reportedly originated from
developing countries. The report further mentions although
the global trend of increasing number of overfished stocks
is showing signs of reverse, issues of overfishing, pollution,
poor fisheries management and climate change remain major
challenges. Focus on certification for sustainable fishing,
ecolabeling and blockchain technology enabled traceability
in seafood value chains are emerging globally. The aim is to
ensure resources are exploited optimally through appropriate
fishing controls. Hence, science-backed, effective fisheries
management policies will be of crucial importance in the
coming years. In this issue of MFIS, we introduce a section
“Science Corner”. It briefly communicates salient research
findings of contemporary interest in the marine fisheries
sector, published in peer-reviewed journals.
