   Abstract:
   Traceability is critical for achieving seafood sustainability goals. However, trade restrictions highlight challenges for identifying basic information, including country of harvest. We use new seafood trade data to illustrate how trade can elude enforcement using the case of responses following Russian sanctions and quantify pathways through which the US imports Russian-harvested products. We then discuss the current policy landscape for enforcing trade restrictions and highlight priorities for improving seafood traceability.
