Artesmar® Fishery Improvement Scheme
Recognizing Small-Scale Fisheries
and Selective Fishing
Artesmar® is a unique initiative for fishery improvement,
dedicated to artisanal small-scale fisheries worldwide.
The program recognizes high catch selectivity and low
impacts on aquatic habitats as important merits of many
small-scale fisheries.
In the Philippines, ARTESMAR is engaging and partnering
with small-scale fisheries that catch adult Yellowfin Tuna
(Thunnus albacares) with selective hand-line gear.
This catch method is the most sustainable and
responsible mean for catching adult tuna – and is
recognized by leading environmental NGO’s worldwide as
a better seafood choice!

Artesmar® Traceability and Supply Chain Integrity
Tagging of Yellowfin Tuna
Meliomar offers a unique system of
traceability and supply chain integrity,
from small-scale fishing vessels to the
final manufactured and packed tuna
products.
The basis of the ARTESMAR® traceability
scheme is the individual tagging of each
tuna upon landing.
The tuna tag consist of a unique code that
identifies each tuna as to its origin (fishing
area and landing site) and stays attached
with the tuna until final processing.
