Seafish, the UK Sea Fish Industry Authority, has announced the launch of the Seafood Information Network (SIN), the most comprehensive single database of information available to the global seafood industry at http://sin.seafish.org
“With the launch of SIN, Seafish has created a user-friendly tool for the industry to find the relevant information from one source,” said Tom Rossiter, Research and Development Manager at Seafish. “Our network is multi-functional and offers our industry partners a vast array of capabilities, including a seafood industry search engine, user specific news updates, an events calendar, equipment guides, a bulletin board and desktop web conferencing facilities.”
John Rutherford, Chief Executive Officer at Seafish, continued: “The Seafood Information Network (SIN) is part of our renewed focus on listening to the needs of our industry partners and taking action. Consultation with industry revealed a requirement for a one-stop, easy-to-use comprehensive database of information about seafood, and that is what SIN delivers.
“Together with our Account Management team and our new focus on better representation for our industry, the launch of SIN forms an important part of the next stage in the development of Seafish as the voice of the UK seafood industry.”
Grimur Valdimarsson, Director of Fish Products and Industry at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), added, “I would like to commend Seafish on launching the Seafood Information Network. Finding unbiased and authoritative information relating to safety, quality, nutrition, as well as environmental profiles is becoming ever more difficult. FAO will follow this industry initiative with great interest and we wish you all success in this challenging endeavour.”
