Commodity: SE-Fish and fish products
Abstract: ...Most seafood is imported to keep up with demand. There aren’t enough of the commonly eaten fish so fishers take other, less commercially appealing, species and pass them off for one of the more demanded types of fish. This problem is further augmented by high profits from fish fraud and very little law enforcement.
