We take responsibility — for the ocean and for the future
Every decision — from vessel to packaging — is filtered through one simple principle: nothing goes to waste.
From catch to zero waste.
A flow where every step creates value — and where nothing is wasted. What does not become food becomes premium feed.
Standards that hold.
We operate to the most established quality and sustainability frameworks — not as marketing, but as operating requirements.
MSC
Marine Stewardship Council certification is under evaluation — the global standard for sustainable fishing.
EU-livsmedelsstandard
Full compliance with EU food-safety and production regulations — from vessel to packaging.
HACCP
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points — systematisk kontroll av alla kritiska punkter i produktionskedjan.
Full traceability
Every product can be traced from catch site to customer — for transparency and consumer trust.
The right method for the right catch.
We combine two established fishing methods — adapted to species, season and market.
Longlining
A selective method where baited lines are set in the water. Results in high product quality and minimal bycatch — ideal for premium species.
- Low bycatch
- High product quality
- Selective catch
Ringnotsfiske
Large-scale harvesting of schooling fish with purse seine. Efficient per energy unit and suited to pelagic species such as tuna — when done responsibly.
- Efficient volume
- Low fuel/kg
- Suited to schooling fish
What actually happens.
Four concrete actions — not fine words.
Selective fishing methods
Longline and responsible purse seine give low bycatch and high product quality — the right catch, the right amount.
On-site processing
Processing happens close to the catch site in Cape Verde — shortening the transport chain and preserving quality.
100% of the fish is used
By-products that do not become food are fully utilised — nothing is discarded.
Energy-optimised vessels
A modern fleet focused on low fuel consumption per kilo of fish caught.
Rooted where we operate.
GAF operates on the ground in Cape Verde. We contribute to the local economy, train staff and work closely with the authorities.
Local jobs
The majority of crew and processing staff are recruited locally in Cape Verde.
Community roots
A long-term commitment — not a temporary presence. We invest in skills and infrastructure.
Working with authorities
Close dialogue with Cape Verde’s fisheries authority on quota, methods and stocks.
