  • AN ABSTRACT of the THESIS of Michael James Thompson for The
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Michael James Thompson for the degree of Master of Science in Marine Resource Management presented on February 4, 2005. Title: Integrating Traceability with Onboard Handling to Enhance Product Quality and Marketability of Eastern Pacific Troll­caught Albacore Tuna (Thunnus alalunga). Abstract Approved:______________________________________________________ Gilbert Sylvia The fishing industry in the Pacific Northwest is a dynamic and highly competitive industry that must constantly respond to rapidly changing resource, regulatory and market forces. These forces have already had a significant impact on our fisheries and will continue to do so as we learn more about the biology and ecology of harvested species, and how this information can be used to effectively manage our fisheries. In addition, market forces, both here and abroad, including the push by some governments to improve food safety and consumer confidence, are also having an impact on the U.S. seafood industry. In an attempt to address these issues, the European Union (E.U.) recently enacted traceability legislation, now mandatory for seafood, which will require all U.S. businesses exporting to the E.U. to provide adequate traceability documentation on their products. This legislation will have an impact on many U.S. fisheries, including the troll­caught albacore fishery in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, which, after losing its traditional market, has recently relied heavily on exporting. Although the term traceability has been around for some time it is relatively new to the U.S. food industry and many in the seafood sector, who now face the possibility of mandatory traceability, have not yet considered all its implications.
