Marcus Coleman has stepped down as chief executive officer at Seafish after a decade in post.
He will move on in December 2025 and take up a CEO position in another organisation.
Coleman is credited with modernising Seafish and forging close connections with the seafood sector across the UK to provide focussed, efficient and valued support.
Under Coleman’s leadership, the public body supported seafood business through Brexit, Covid and geopolitical situations, it said.
“I have had the enormous privilege to work alongside dedicated and committed colleagues who wholeheartedly believe in the UK seafood industry and work tirelessly using their knowledge and expertise to support the sector in all its different constituent parts,” said Coleman.
“I would also like to thank members of the Seafish board, past and present, who have always supported me and my executive team as the organisation has continued to evolve and improve.”
Seafish said it would shortly launch the process to identify a successor.
Chairman Mike Sheldon said: “Marcus has ensured that the highest standards of corporate governance have been upheld at Seafish while also being a great champion for the seafood sector. His contribution is widely appreciated and I thank him for his service and wish him well in his new role.”
