Overview

The aim of the fair-fish international association is to contribute to the international breakthrough of animal welfare for fish, in particular food fish. At the same time it takes the criteria of sustainability and fair trade into account. The association is the holder of the fair-fish name and brand. It defines the guidelines that authorise the use of the fair-fish label. The association provides information to the public and cooperates with interested experts, marketers and organisations with related objectives. The association pursues neither profit-making nor self-help purposes. The association’s tasks are • Developing guidelines for fishing and fish-farming • Conclusion of license agreements • Assignment of certification and control agencies • Proclamation and protection of the fair-fish name and brand within the scope of the means available • Laying the groundwork, in terms of content, for the activity of fair-fish associations in the context of defined projects, and relieving these associations by taking on individual tasks within the scope of the means available.
