The rapidly changing global trading environment is placing increasing demands on Australia's seafood
industry to demonstrate that their product is safe and that it will not cause illness now or in the future.

risks associated with their products and processes.
Changes to the natural environment, including through increased pollution of the marine environment

be managed. Development of new products and processes designed to increase shelf life and improve

investment into these areas.
