• Label with country of origin, species, and 'fresh/chilled' status; use NAUPA for pickerel identification

• Provide catch certificates to prove wild-caught status and avoid aquaculture misclassification

• Inspect for parasites; FDA requires visual checks and potential testing for freshwater species
