The Global Trust has granted the Golden redfish fisheries continued IRF certification, following its first certification back in 2014.
A recent Assessment Report covered the Annual Surveillance for the Icelandic Golden redfish to the recently revised version of the IRFM Standard.
The report monitored any changes in the management regime and regulations, as well as its implementation, stock assessment and status, and wider ecosystem considerations since the first surveillance assessment in June 2015.
It also evaluates the management system against any new and/or modified criteria of the revised IRFM Standard.
Following this, the certificate has been updated to reflect changes, the unit of certification now includes the Icelandic Golden redfish (Sebastes norvegicus) commercial fishery, under state management by the Icelandic Ministry of Industries and Innovation.
The report is available on the responsible fisheries website.
