This demand has led to #overfishing in the past, but many efforts are underway to secure robust and viable populations of grouper. With this in mind, the new https://t.co/uizTYUa5X9 will help producers and buyers connect to source grouper from sustainable or improving fisheries.
Distributed in warm oceans worldwide, #grouper have found a new home as well: the new https://t.co/uizTYUa5X9, launching in the new year. These wide-mouthed, heavy-bodied fish are renowned for their lean, firm-textured white meat, and they’re highly sought after. #sustainability

Looking to source sustainable snapper? Consider checking out @Comepesca's industry members who specialize in responsibly-sourced red snapper (AKA “huachinango” in Spanish). And stay tuned for more connections as the relaunch gets underway.
Ah, snapper. Renowned for their flaky white meat & ability to hold up under various cooking conditions, these fish are highly sought after by both commercial & recreational fishers. Many of the species in this family are important food fish, including the prized red snapper.
FishChoice is working with @Comepesca, an NGO that promotes Mexican seafood products, to expand the reach of https://t.co/uizTYUaDMH users and open new markets to buyers and suppliers, especially around snapper.
We're back with our summer seafood series! One of two cephalopods featured on the new https://t.co/uizTYUa5X9, #octopus is the newest priority product to be included. Global demand for octopus has steadily increased over the past few decades and is projected to continue to climb.
Two FIPs on FisheryProgress recently advanced from a B to A Rating: Indonesia North Sumatra squid - handline, and Pacific Ocean albacore tuna - longline. Congrats to both of these fisheries on the hard work making environmental and social progress! #sustainability
A new report from @ISSF found that 11 of the 23 major commercial #tuna stocks worldwide are sufficiently avoiding overfishing and maintaining target stock size to meet @MSCecolabel standards, an increase from 7 in 2023. Read more @SeafoodSource: https://t.co/i0Oe2k6u5C
