Resumen: Packaging design and material innovation offer real opportunities to reduce seafood degradation within the supply chain. The growing environmental crisis and health burden caused by conventional packaging demands sustainable and biodegradable alternatives, which play a crucial role in the circular economy by promoting resource efficiency, waste reduction, product lifecycle optimization and the regeneration of natural systems. Although bio-based materials are considered renewable resources compared to conventional materials, they have limited applications, such as difficulty in processing, poor performance, high permeability and high costs associated with scaling up production. However, by understanding the critical limitations, targeted strategies can be developed to overcome them, such as blending these bio-based materials with other materials to improve their functionality, thereby increasing their applicability. In this context, this review provides a general insight into seafood packaging and discusses the latest strategies based on materials from natural sources. It is also discusses the existing limitations and potential future development prospects.
