Abstract: Ensuring the quality of any type of food, particularly seafood has increasingly become an important issue nowadays. The environment is polluted in many ways, such that the consumption of seafood by compromising the quality may cause diseases due to infection or intoxication. So the adoption of proper quality control systems is mandatory in any organization that deals with food processing and distribution.

Ontology is a formal specification of the concepts within a domain and their interrelationships. It describes the logical structure of a domain, its concepts and the relations between them. The aim of ontology is to capture knowledge in related fields, provide a shared under standing of conceptual knowledge, define a common vocabulary in this field, and give clear definition to the mutual relationship between these words from different levels of formal models. This paper presents the initial phase of our research viz, design and construction of seafood ontology in Web Ontology Language [OWL]. It is an extension of our work which is published earlier. Protégé is used to implement the ontology
