The traceability and documentation process under Control Document need to be implemented by all of the segments of the supply chain (started from collectors/cooking stations, miniplants and processors) in order to promote compliance to the new regulations and generate the records and documents of the supply chain application and verification of the new regiulations. Special attention needs to be focused on the picking plants (miniplants) where the cooked crab is transformed into crab meat making not possible to verify the minimum landing size (MLS) and egg berried female (EBF) afterwards.
