SOLUTIONS FOR FISHERIES
EMPOWERING THE INDUSTRY TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABILITY OF WILD FISH POPULATIONS
Ocean-dwelling fish provide communities with a vital source of nutrition — however, overfishing can cause serious issues and population collapses. Governmental agencies around the world must be proactive in tracking important fish populations to prevent these consequences. Our DNA TraceBack™ Fisheries Array platform supports sustainable fishing by helping to determine catch limits across multiple species of fish.
MSD Animal Health empowers the fisheries industry with insights that support the sustainability of wild fish populations.
