respectively. Given that the use of Endangered (EN), Vulnerable (VU) or Near Threatened (NT) species may accelerate the extinction of suchspecies, these results may be of great value for the conservation offish species and imposes great challenges on animal conservation.A major threat for the sustainable management of these valuableresources is Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. Current estimates suggest that globally up to 25% of fisheries catches fall within IUU practices, identifying it as the single largest threat to achieving sustainability. Both the FAO and the European Union have placed increasing emphasis on the use of trade measures to prevent IUU-sourced fish and fish products from entering inter-national trade. One component of this increased regulation hasrequired the inclusion of binomial species nomenclature on catchlabels throughout the distribution chain
