QWEHLI SUSTAINABILITY

This tightly regulated fishery is closely monitored at Qwehli we choose to have a sustainable approach, ensuring operations don’t impact the marine life and its habitat.

 

The Patagonian Toothfish fishery is subjected to some of the strictest and most controlled regulations in the world. It is following limited yearly quotas dispatched among the authorized vessels in order to preserve this specie.

QWEHLI toothfish is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and listed as first choice by the WWF in Hong Kong.

Our fishers actively contribute and follow the conservation measures set by The Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to protect Albatrosses and Grey Petrels highly vulnerable to bycatch.

 

These mitigation measures preventing the seabirds from getting caught or tangled in the longlines have resulted in a decline in number of their mortalities. Our vessels avoid zones and depths at which they are likely to catch species other than toothfish.

​

We offer seafood certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) the world’s leading certification scheme for farmed seafood.
