Swiss professional fishers\u2019 associations are thus creating, for the first time, a standardised identification label for local fish. It is intended to help distinguish local wild fish from imported or farmed products.<\/p>\n
The label was developed by the Lake Fishing Platform, established in 2020 in collaboration with the Swiss professional fishers\u2019 federation (SBFV) and the association of professional fishers of French-speaking Switzerland (ASRPP).<\/p>\n
The label guarantees that the fish \u201ccomes from a Swiss lake and was caught by a professional fisher holding a licence\u201d. Compliance with legal provisions is also ensured.<\/p>\n

It also aims to better promote the diversity of fish species in Swiss lakes.<\/p>\n Not in supermarkets<\/p>\n The label will not be seen in supermarkets for the time being, Jean-Philippe Arm, president of the ASRPP, told news agency Keystone-SDA. The administrative burden, particularly in terms of inspections, would be too great for the fishers.<\/p>\n The main aim of the new label is to make consumers understand that wild fish is a high-quality, locally sourced Swiss product. The hope is that they will be willing to pay the price for it and not turn to imported fish.<\/p>\n \n More<\/p>\n More <\/p>\n Landlocked Switzerland\u2019s taste for seafood is raising a stink <\/p>\n This content was published on <\/p>\n Dec 23, 2023 <\/p>\n Around 96% of all fish consumed in Switzerland is imported but it is estimated that only around 40% can be considered sustainable. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read more: Landlocked Switzerland\u2019s taste for seafood is raising a stink According to Arm, local wild-caught fish account for only 1-3% of the market; the rest is imported.
