Illegal and unregulated fishing undermines marine ecosystems, drives species decline, and costs the global economy billions each year. Yet despite decades of reform, seafood supply chains remain opaque.

The industry urgently needs a tool that goes beyond certification. Scientific origin verification provides that solution.

Source Certain pioneered trace element analysis (TEA) to confirm seafood origin at the fishery and farm level. This method not only distinguishes between legal and illegal sources, it also allows governments to check whether fish were harvested inside or outside Marine Protected Areas. For businesses, it provides proof of sustainable sourcing that can withstand regulatory and consumer scrutiny.

Origin verification transforms responsible sourcing from a promise into a measurable reality. For the seafood sector to thrive, scientific verification must become the baseline for global trade.
