Abstract
This report investigates practical and technological challenges related to an introduction of electronic traceability systems in the Norwegian fish industry that can be used to document and control the legality of fish. The report outlines the requirements for such a system to reduce, prevent, and defer Illegal, Unregulated, and Unreported (IUU) fishing. The report also contains analysis and recommendations for electronic management of information related to fishing in national waters and how this information can help to provide means to issue IUU certificates. The report is concluded with recommendations for an electronic traceability system for IUU management.
