The sustainable seafood market refers to the sector of the fish and seafood industry that focuses on harvesting and producing seafood in a manner that maintains healthy populations of marine life and has minimal impact on the environment. This approach encompasses a wide range of practices including responsible fishing to avoid overfishing, reducing bycatch, implementing aquaculture systems that do not harm ecosystems, and ensuring fair labor conditions. Sustainable seafood is increasingly sought after by environmentally conscious consumers and organizations advocating for the long-term viability of ocean resources. It is often certified by third-party organizations that assess and verify that the seafood products meet specific sustainability standards and practices.

Well-known companies in this sector include the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), which certifies wild-caught seafood, and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), which focuses on farmed fish.
