This paper, "Eco-labelling of wild-caught seafood products", describes and analyses the criteria applied by four different eco-labelling schemes for seafood products from capture fisheries, and discusses the criteria in terms of environmental impacts, based on the ISO 14040 standard for life cycle assessment. It is concluded that the most widespread eco-label, the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), mainly addresses the fishing stage, in particular the overexploitation of marine resources.

The Journal of Cleaner Production has a special issue dedicated to sustainable seafood, with a suite of papers covering a range of topics. The stated purpose of the special issue is to bring together a series of papers that will form a nucleus for the growth of an emerging area of scholarship.
