Quality assurance
Indicators include cloudy eyes, and the floppiness of the fish
SMF was the first to be licensed under the Aus Fish Names Standard, prioritising accurate product labelling for consumers
Quality Assurance Inspectors or occasionally the Department of Fisheries
Check that deliveries follow health, safety and seafood handling guidelines
Inspect colour, odour, appearance, sliminess etc.
Improving transportation efficiency increases the products quality
The redeveloped SFM will have innovative equipment on the operational floor to make product movement more efficient and increase quality of fish
Everything goes straight from the boats to the markets before it goes to any retailers so it has the freshest and highest quality fish
Could be cheaper as the fish hasn't traveled as far and or because it is sold in bulk but SFM can charge higher prices because of their premium quality
Ice flakes used to keep fish cool and fresh but also to protect from impact
Environment
Waste Management Plan minimizes impact
The environmental comittee discusses SFM's impact on the environment and how this can be reduced
Recycle 125,000 polystyrene boxes per year (compacted and sent to China)
Water used for cleaning the flood is recycled
Crates used for fish and ice are reused
Less over fishing
Maintain stable population
Sea urchins eat all the coral and are overpopulated which is destroying our environment
Should eat them to stabilize their population but people are scared to try them
