September 12, 2025 — The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has announced that three-quarters of the whitefish caught in global fisheries is now certified MSC sustainable, representing “a major milestone for the seafood industry.”
“Whitefish represents one of the most compelling sustainability success stories in seafood,” MSC Chief Program Officer Nicolas Guichoux said. “Many of these fisheries have now maintained certification for decades and continued to improve their practices, demonstrating not only their long-term commitment to operating responsibly but the clear commercial incentive of doing so, as well.”
