Abstract
This chapter examines the role that standards and management practices play in maintaining a rewarding and sustainable export fish industry in East Africa. It does so by analysing two separate but interconnected mechanisms: (a) how the industry matches food safety standards set by the EU; and (b) how it applies regulations, standards, ecolabels and fishery management systems to ensure the sustainability of the resource.
