This narrative review synthesises socio-ecological resilience and sustainability literature to identify attributes enabling seafood supply chains to withstand disruption. It found that diversity, connectivity, government support, and trust-based collaboration underpinned supply chain resilience.
This mixed methods narrative review drew on socio-ecological resilience and sustainability literature to identify links between supply chain attributes, disruption response, and sustainability in seafood systems. The authors reviewed documented responses of seafood supply networks to disruption and used a case study to describe attributes of a resilient system, categorising disruptions by frequency as episodic, chronic, or cumulative. Seafood supply chains were found to be resilient when they were diverse in products, markets, consumers, or processing; connected across scales; supported by governments at multiple levels; and able to foster learning and collaboration through trust-based relationships. The study underscored the need for objective methods for analysing supply chain resilience and broader tools to characterise supply chain performance. The findings suggest these attributes can also contribute to socio-ecological sustainability with adequate planning, infrastructure, and systematic mapping.
