Sustainable seafood has evolved from a nice-to-have corporate initiative to the driving force behind billion-dollar investment decisions. In this episode of The Business of Aquaculture, we dive deep into the ten transformative trends reshaping the global seafood industry and creating clear winners and losers in the marketplace.

Discover how Atlantic bluefin tuna went from collapse to comeback, why Thai shrimp farmers are embracing blockchain technology, and how Norwegian salmon now comes with QR codes that tell the complete story from fjord to fork. We explore the ABC framework—Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Community—that's enabling unprecedented transparency and efficiency across the supply chain.

From the massive capital flows of the "Blue Economy" to the consumer revolution demanding traceability, this episode reveals how smart operators are turning sustainability from a cost center into a competitive advantage.
