“…The fishing industry has been characterized as an inefficient industry due to the lack of transparency and monitoring, and limited product traceability from point of origin to destination. These inefficiencies have caused the appearance of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, as well as smuggling (counterfeit) and exploitation of workers (Fang & Asche, 2021;Longo et al, 2021). In this sense, BT modifies the business approach by allowing the connection of all chain levels to exchange and/or share information across the network in a decentralized manner and supporting a networked supply chain which would be a key element to business performance (Wang, Zhang, Ying, & Zhao, 2021).…”

Objective: This paper aimed to discuss how blockchain technology would incorporate several changes in the fishery supply chains, in order to make them more reliable and sustainable. Method: This is a qualitative study, using an exploratory method with descriptive approach. In addition, the literature review in this study presents theoretical contributions regarding utility. Main Results: The study highlights the importance of incorporating blockchain features into seafood supply chains, which are currently fragmented and lack of real-time information, focusing on its traceability potential to leveraging fishery supply chains operations and outcomes. It identifies a sequence of strategic checkpoints that provide real-time information by using blockchain in fishery supply chains. Relevance / Originality: This manuscript presents a diagram of a seafood supply chain considering how blockchain allows the data gathering in each stage in order to provide traceability to the supply chain. Hence, the study serves as a map, as well as a model, for upcoming research on how to understand the incorporation of technology into supply chains stages. Theoretical / Methodological Contributions: Supply chains support international business operations. Furthermore, as digital revolution moves aggressively forward, supply chains need to adapt to it in order to fit for the new stakeholders’ expectations. This study uses sustainable supply chain management and blockchain technology as positioning literature. Management Contributions: The study provides an overview of how fishery supply chains would work by incorporating blockchain technology, which extends the literature about sustainable supply chain management and proposes paths for actions for policymakers in order to make them improve the business ecosystem. This study implies a practical contribution to global value chain perspective and the discipline of business.

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is one of seven major threats to global maritime security listed by the United Nations. IUU fishing can be caused by economic factors, social factors, institutional factors, and organized IUU fishing operations. This review article discusses the topic of IUU fishing in Indonesia, as well as remedies to the problem that have been previously investigated and potentially can be applied in Indonesia. IUU fishing can result in economic losses, environmental degradation, and economic loss for coastal communities, as well as a reduction in fish stocks. Indonesia has vast marine resources, and making better use of them can boost the country’s economic progress. IUU fishing is still happening in Indonesia and it caused an economic loss. According to reports, IUU fishing caused Indonesia to lose up to IDR 101 trillion annually. Therefore, appropriate strategies are needed. For this reason, the government has given IUU fishing a high priority for resolution. As it is critical to resolving the IUU fishing issue. It can be inferred that, in terms of combating IUU fishing, there are three critical aspects to consider. They are law and regulation, social and government cooperation, and technology investment, especially in monitoring, control, and surveillance.

“…Low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) generally have higher rates of FLW compared to high-income countries in upstream stages of supply chains, which can be addressed with improvements in technology, infrastructure, and capacity building 21,31,38 , but also through trade incentives such as the U.S. Seafood Import Monitoring Program targeting unsustainable shing practices 39 .…”

Food loss and waste (FLW) is a major challenge to food system sustainability, including aquatic foods. Few data exist on aquatic FLW outside of small-scale fisheries, with major gaps in aquaculture species that make up half of global production. We investigated aquatic FLW in the food supply of the United States (US), the largest importer of aquatic food globally. We show that there are significant differences in FLW among species, production technology, origin, and stage of supply chain. We estimate that the total FLW was 22.7%, significantly lower than the 50% earlier reported in the literature, illustrating the importance of applying a disaggregated approach. Production losses from imports contribute over a quarter of total FLW, which strongly illustrates the importance of implementing systems approaches and multinational efforts to reduce FLW. The findings inform prioritization of solutions, including areas of needed innovations, government incentives, policy change, infrastructure and equity.
