The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is a non-profit organisation which aims to set standards for sustainable fishing. Fisheries that wish to demonstrate they are well-managed and sustainable compared to the MSC's standards are assessed by a team of Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs).
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS),informally known as NOAA Fisheries,is a United States federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that is responsible for the stewardship of U.S. national marine resources.

The Government agencies of Norway are state-controlled organizations that act independently to carry out the policies of the Government of Norway. The government ministries are relatively small and merely policy-making organizations,allowed to control agencies by policy decisions but not by direct orders. A minister is explicitly prohibited from interfering with the day-to-day operation in an agency or the outcome in individual cases. While no minister is allowed to give orders to agencies personally,they are subject to decisions made by the government. Also,the minister is normally the instance of appeals for agency decisions.

The coastline of the Russian Federation is the fourth longest in the world after the coastlines of Canada,Greenland,and Indonesia. The Russian fishing industry has an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 7.6 million km2 including access to twelve seas in three oceans,together with the landlocked Caspian Sea and more than two million rivers.
The aquaculture of salmonids is the farming and harvesting of salmonid fish under controlled conditions for both commercial and recreational purposes. Salmonids,along with carp and tilapia,are the three most important fish groups in aquaculture. The most commonly commercially farmed salmonid is the Atlantic salmon.
A community-supported fishery (CSF) is an alternative business model for selling fresh,locally sourced seafood. CSF programs,modeled after increasingly popular community-supported agriculture programs,offer members weekly shares of fresh seafood for a pre-paid membership fee. The first CSF program was started in Port Clyde,Maine,in 2007,and similar CSF programs have since been started across the United States and in Europe. Community supported fisheries aim to promote a positive relationship between fishermen,consumers,and the ocean by providing high-quality,locally caught seafood to members. CSF programs began as a method to help marine ecosystems recover from the effects of overfishing while maintaining a thriving fishing community.

Salmon is a common food fish classified as an oily fish with a rich content of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Norway is a major producer of farmed and wild salmon,accounting for more than 50% of global salmon production. Farmed and wild salmon differ only slightly in terms of food quality and safety,with farmed salmon having lower content of environmental contaminants,and wild salmon having higher content of omega-3 fatty acids.
BarentsWatch was launched in May-2012 by Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Jonas Gahr Støre and Norwegian Minister of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs Lisbeth Berg-Hansen. The information portal provides an overview of activity and knowledge in coastal and sea areas. The system covers sea and coastal areas from Denmark in the south,to Greenland in the west,the North Pole in the north and Novaja Semlja in the east.
The olfactory system is the system related to the sense of smell (olfaction). Many fish activities are dependent on olfaction,such as:mating,discriminating kin,avoiding predators,locating food,contaminant avoidance,imprinting and homing. These activities are referred to as “olfactory-mediated.”Impairment of the olfactory system threatens survival and has been used as an ecologically relevant sub-lethal toxicological endpoint for fish within studies. Olfactory information is received by sensory neurons,like the olfactory nerve,that are in a covered cavity separated from the aquatic environment by mucus. Since they are in almost direct contact with the surrounding environment,these neurons are vulnerable to environmental changes. Fish can detect natural chemical cues in aquatic environments at concentrations as low as parts per billion (ppb) or parts per trillion (ppt).
