Trade in aquatic products is the largest global food sector, by value, with Asia representing the main external source of aquatic products into the EU. Current EU policy supporting international trade between Asia and Europe concentrates on issues of food safety as measures of quality, whilst marketforces drive development of standards and labels that identify social and environmental parameters. The SEAT (Sustaining Ethical Aquatic Trade) project proposes to establish an evidence-based framework to support current and future stakeholder dialogues organised by third party certifiers. This will contribute to harmonising standards, helping consumers to make fully informed choices with regards to the sustainability and safety of their seafood. The ‘Ethical Aquatic Food Index’ (EAFI), a qualitative holistic measure of overall sustainability intended to support consumers’ purchasing decisions, will be based on detailed research centred on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of current processes. Systems thinking will be applied to analyse livelihood impacts along the global value chains of four farmed aquatic products, tilapia, shrimp, freshwater prawns and Pangasius catfish in four major producing countries China, Thailand, Vietnam and Bangladesh. Initial assessments of environmental impacts by and on aquatic production and processing systems, and impacts on product safety and social equity will lead towards prioritisation of critical issues and supportive action research. Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) based in the EU and Asia will participate in this process, enhancing their relative competitiveness. By strengthening the knowledge base surrounding EU-Asia seafood trade the project will provide the evidence required to support further expansion whilst ensuring a fair deal for producers who are meeting appropriate social and environmental goals and offering a safe and sustainable product for consumers.
