Ecolabelling scheme
21.
Ecolabelling schemes entitle a fishery product to bear a distinctive logo or
statement which certifies that the fish has been harvested in compliance with
conservation and sustainability standards. The logo or statement is intended
to make provision for informed decisions of purchasers whose choice can be
relied upon to promote and stimulate the sustainable use of fishery resources.
Enhanced fisheries
21b.
Fisheries that are supported by activities aimed at supplementing or sustain-
ing the recruitment of one or more aquatic organisms and raising the total
production or the production of selected elements of a fishery beyond a level
which is sustainable by natural processes. It may entail stocking with material
originating from aquaculture installations.
Inland capture fisheries

The removal of fish and other aquatic organisms from natural or enhanced
inland fisheries, but excluding aquaculture.
Introduced species (alien species-Article 8(h) of the Convention on
Biological Diversity.)

by humans into an environment outside their natural range.
Standard for certification

provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics
for products or related processes and production methods, with which com-
