Fish and seafood may be part of your weekly diet as something that's quick and easy to prepare, and good for you, too.

The Australian dietary guidelines notes that "regular consumption of fish may help reduce risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia in older adults and macular degeneration". 

For anyone who enjoys seafood and wants to shop sustainably, here are a few things you can do. 

Different ways to determine the sustainability of your seafood

A range of resources can help you determine the sustainability of your seafood:

  • The Marine Steward Council publishes a guide to sustainable fish and seafood in Australia and New Zealand. You can also check packaged seafood for an MSC-certified logo.
  • Greenpeace and CHOICE have produced canned tuna guides.
  • The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) publishes the GoodFish Sustainable Seafood Guide, which gives seafood a traffic light rating of red, amber and green according to its sustainability.

Green "Better Choice" listings reflect healthy populations and production processes with minimal environmental impacts.
