seafood supply chain

The seafood supply chain involves several steps to bring fish and seafood from the water to consumers' plates. It starts with catching or farming seafood, then processing or packaging it to ensure freshness and safety. The product is stored and transported—often via refrigerated trucks, ships, or planes—to distribution centers or markets. Retailers sell the seafood to customers, whether in stores or restaurants. Throughout this process, careful handling and quality control are essential to maintain freshness, ensure safety, and meet demand. This complex system connects fishermen, processors, distributors, and consumers worldwide.
