Editorial

Welcome to this issue of the Fisheries Newsletter. We present a very interesting article on the ISO 22000 Certification. This new standard specifies requirements for a food safety management system in which an organisation in the food handling chain needs to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards to ensure that food is safe at the time of human consumption.

Franck Magron, following on an article published in Fisheries Newsletter #117, describes sources of information for shallow water bathymetry and how these sources can be used to produce bathymetric maps for coastal fisheries management purposes.
