Abstract
    Private initiatives which can directly influence the incentives, decision-making, and structure of the fishing industry and seafood supply chain through the use of market interventions have the potential to fill policy gaps in public governance. However, the current model of private initiatives, dominated by the use of voluntary certification standards (ecolabels), may be insufficient in shaping the corporate behavior. With the seafood industry’s strategies for sustainability (i.e., corporate social responsibility, CSR) driven by their commitment to subscribe to existing private, third-party certification programs, we argue that CSR as practiced in the seafood industry today is limiting the industry’s ability to fully integrate sustainability throughout the supply chains, not only in terms of resource use but also in the improvement of human livelihoods.
