The Pescafria-Pesquera Rodriguez Barents Sea Cod (Gadus morhua) fishery has today entered formal assessment against the Marine Stewardship Council’s (MSC) standard for sustainable and well-managed fisheries. If the fishery succeeds in securing certification, products sourced from the fishery will be eligible to carry the blue MSC ecolabel.
Pescafria-Pesquera Rodriguez is a family-run company, founded in 1940 and based in the Basque Country and Galicia. The company holds 27.50% of the Spanish quota for cod in the Barents Sea which equates to 3,700 tonnes in the most recent year and which is the largest quota at national level. The main market for the fishery at present is the United Kingdom and the main product is frozen cod fillets; a small proportion is sold to the Spanish market as salted cod and cod roe.
The MSC runs the world’s leading environmental certification programme for wild capture fisheries. The assessment of the Spanish cod fishery will be carried out by an independent, expert team. The team will assess the fishery against the three Principles of the MSC environmental standard and examine the health of the target stock (the Northeast Arctic cod stock); the impact of the fishery on the wider marine ecosystem; and the effectiveness of the fishery’s management in securing the long-term sustainability of the stock and minimising impacts on the ecosystem.
