Most seafood labels look simple, but they often hide more than they reveal.
When you buy fish at a grocery store, the package might say salmon, tuna, or cod. But those market names can represent dozens of different species, and the label rarely tells you exactly which one you are eating. In many cases, key details like the fishing location, the vessel that caught the fish, or the specific species are missing.
In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, we explore the seafood labeling gap and why it matters. When multiple species are grouped under the same market name, it becomes harder to detect seafood fraud, track fisheries, and ensure sustainable seafood choices. Understanding what labels do and do not tell us is an important step toward improving transparency in the global seafood supply chain.
