Synopsis (short abstract) The Committee on Fisheries established the Sub-Committee on Fish Trade to serve as a multilateral framework for consultations on international trade in fishery products. The sixteenth session of the Sub-Committee was held in Busan, Republic of Korea, from 4 to 8 September 2017. The Sub-Committee took note of recent developments concerning international trade in fishery products. It also considered specific issues related to international trade and sustainable fisheries development, including: reduction of fish food loss and waste; Voluntary Guidelines for Catch Documentation Schemes (CDS); update on activities related to food quality, safety and market access; fish trade and the Convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora (CITES); and monitoring the implementation of article 11 of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF). The Sub-Committee for the first time also addressed the following topics: social sustainability in fisheries value chains and the link to trade; the impact of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on livelihoods, trade, food fish supply and consumption; and the impact of climate change on future fish supply, trade and consumption.
