Abstract
Over the span of a decade, genetic identification methods have progressively exposed the inadequacies of the
seafood supply chain, revealing previously unrecognized levels of seafood fraud, raising awareness among the
public, and serving as a warning to industry that malpractice will be detected. Here we present the outcome of
the latest and largest multi-species, transnational survey of fish labeling accuracy to date, which demonstrates
an apparent sudden reduction of seafood mislabeling in Europe. We argue that recent efforts in legislation,
governance, and outreach have had a positive impact on industry regulation. Coordinated, technology-based,
policy-oriented actions can play a pivotal role in shaping a transparent, sustainable global seafood market and
in bolstering healthier oceans.
