Changes in the terms and direction of international trade in seafood, an increased understanding of and concern for the public health risk imposed by seafood products, and advances in information management technology combine to open opportunities to manage more effectively seafood-borne risk. Present regulatory mandates and programs lack sufficient integration for effective risk mitigation and do not adequately reflect the trans-national nature of seafood trade or the increased complexity of seafood production. This paper argues that the concept of a "chain of custody" - from the ocean to the final consumer - provides a useful integrating framework for understanding and refining efforts to reduce public health concerns surrounding the consumption of seafood.
海产品国际贸易的条款和方向发生了变化，人们对海产品所带来的公共健康风险有了更多的认识和担忧，同时信息管理技术也取得了进步，这些因素共同为更有效地管理海产品传播风险创造了机会。目前的监管要求和计划缺乏足够的整合以有效减轻风险，并且没有充分反映海产品贸易的跨国性质或海产品生产日益增加的复杂性。本文认为，“监管链”的概念——从海洋到最终消费者——为理解和完善减少围绕海产品消费的公共健康问题的努力提供了一个有用的整合框架。
