Australia's Sustainable Seafood Guide is an excellent tool to help you make an ocean-friendly choice about the seafood you eat.
Your Independent Tool for Choosing Your Seafood Wisely
(AUSTRALIA, 8/25/2014)
Australia's Sustainable Seafood Online Guide is an independent tool to choosing seafood wisely. It is Australia's original online resource for consumers seeking to make responsible seafood choices, and was developed in response to growing public concern about overfishing, farming practices and their impact on our oceans and wildlife.
The assessments that underpin the rankings in Australia's Sustainable Seafood Guide are based on a review of the latest research, data and information available about individual species and fisheries. Undertaken by fisheries experts at the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) the assessments consider the impacts of seafood production on our oceans.
 |
| Australia’s Sustainable Seafood Guide shows you the sustainability of over 90 different types of seafood, including those from wild-caught fisheries, fish farms and imported species. |
Australia's Sustainable Seafood Online Guide gives you an insight into the sustainability of around 90 seafood species commonly found at fishmongers supermarkets, fish and chip shops and restaurants. It includes assessments of Australian and imported fish species.
You can find important information about Australia's seafood industry, seafood and your health, seafood labelling, some of the common seafood myths and much more.

| This is the only app of its kind for Australian seafood. |
In previous versions of the Guide, for ease of use some similar species with the same sustainability ranking were presented together (e.g. wild caught prawns), even though the research and assessment was conducted at a species level (e.g. endeavour prawn, banana prawn). In the updated Guide, more detailed information on impacts of fishing for or farming individual species is provided.
Australia's Sustainable Seafood Guide is not intended to be a comprehensive review of every single fishery or farm in Australia and overseas. It is a consumer guide which provides information on the seafood we most often come across in our daily lives.
Australia's fisheries are inherently complex. Many fisheries catch multiple different species using different types of fishing gear. A single species can also be caught in different fisheries managed by different states (including the Territory) and also by the Commonwealth.
The Guide is also not intended to be a certification scheme of individual seafood species or fisheries. It is an assessment of different types of seafood based on the latest research available. While seafood certification schemes review individual fisheries or species, this online resource covers the main seafood species for sale in Australia presenting a thorough and comparative assessment of their sustainability.
Although the Guide contains references to fish caught by recreational fishers, it is not intended as an assessment of the sustainability of recreational fisheries. The assessments evaluate the sustainability of commercial fisheries and aquaculture operations to provide information as a guide to people buying seafood, rather than catching their own.
