Aquaculture and fisheries

This value-chain analysis from NTAES examines risk and criminality in the aquaculture and fisheries sector. The report follows the value chain from catch and farming through processing and export, and identifies areas where there is heightened risk of regulatory breaches or profit-motivated crime.

The analysis is aimed at directorates, supervisory authorities, police, prosecutors and industry actors who together work to safeguard sustainable and lawful management of marine resources. It draws on data and experience from several cooperating agencies and provides a common knowledge base for prioritising supervision and control.

Themes

Central themes include quota management, reporting obligations, tax and employment conditions, cross-border transactions and the use of complex corporate structures. The report is accompanied by an interactive online resource that presents key findings and visualisations of the value chain.
