|Reason=There is no credible quality certificate for wild fish or aquaculture, because nowhere is the precautionary principle taken into account. The entire industrial sector is considered unsustainable (and therefore all quality marks in it are considered untrustworthy). MSC certifies wild fisheries.

"Wild. Certified. Sustainable."

Certification happens via an independent for-profit firm that then recommends the fishery for certification (or not). The cost of one certificate is between USD 20,000–100,000 plus around USD 75,000 for annual audits and a re-certification every 5 years.

MSC has long been criticised for its practices.
One idea is that in a conflict of interests, MSC has relaxed its certificate standards, since it receives royalties from licensing its label.
