Audit by the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources

An external audit was conducted at Lihini Seafoods (Pvt) Ltd by officials from the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DFAR). The primary focus of the audit was to ensure compliance with national fisheries regulations and hygiene standards in seafood processing.

Key activities included:

• Verification of catch documentation, including fishing vessel details, fishing zones, species, and quantities landed.

• Inspection of traceability records, ensuring that the sourcing of raw materials aligned with legal and sustainable practices.

• On-site factory visit, where auditors inspected the processing area’s hygiene and sanitation conditions, including personal hygiene practices, equipment cleanliness, and general facility maintenance.

I was actively involved in the process by assisting in document retrieval and submission when required, and I also accompanied the audit team during the factory walkthrough. This audit helped reinforce the importance of regulatory compliance, traceability, and sanitation control in the export-oriented seafood industry.
