They warn that, according to Oceana, more than fifty vessels with Spanish capital are registered in countries with a high risk of illegal fishing.
The conservation organizations ClientEarth, Ecologistas en Acción, EJF, Oceana, SEO/BirdLife, and WWF believe that the draft Law on Control, Inspection, and Sanctions for Maritime Fishing represents a key opportunity to consolidate the country's leadership in the fight against illegal fishing and, above all, to improve transparency in the fishing sector. In this regard, one issue that environmentalists feel is missing is a requirement in the legislation to publish information about the individuals and companies that actually benefit from fishing activities

Health, convenience, and traceability drive salmon growth in the United States, while the Chilean industry seeks to maintain its leadership in the face of tariffs, Norwegian competition, and an increasingly informed consumer.
The United States has established itself as the main destination for Chilean salmon. Its size, sophistication, and diverse distribution channels make it the most competitive market in the world for seafood products. In recent years, demand has followed a sustained upward trend, driven by consumers seeking healthy, quick-to-prepare foods with a commitment to sustainability.
According to data from the National Fisheries Institute, per capita salmon consumption in the United States grew by 34% between 2017 and 2022, increasing from 1.1 to 1.5 kilos per person per year.
Review urges Chile-style controls and stronger heatwave planning.
A Tasmanian government debrief into last summer’s salmon mass mortality event has found that a lack of accurate and timely information from operators delayed critical decision-making and undermined public messaging.
The review, published on Monday, also highlights coordination and waste-logistics challenges and proposes ten actions, including consideration of an industry code of practice and strengthened reporting rules.

The presence of Chinese vessels off the Chilean coast has increased considerably since 2025. While only 8 vessels were recorded in 2024, the number has already reached 117 this year. This has alarmed the artisanal fishing sector, which views the presence of the Chinese fleet, especially squid fishing vessels, with concern.
When consulted on the matter, Alfonso Miranda, president of CALAMASUR, called on the governments of Chile, Ecuador, and Peru to consolidate a common position to strengthen management measures for the giant squid (Dosidicus gigas), a key resource for the northern region of the country.

The Federation of European Aquaculture Producers (FEAP) has issued warning of a growing trend in international seafood markets regarding the mislabelling of fish species. Of particular concern is the use of the generic term seabass for products that are not European seabass but seek to benefit from the latter’s established reputation and market value
Recent market observations have revealed that barramundi (Lates calcarifer), a fish species captured and farmed in the Indo-Pacific region, is often marketed simply as seabass in several Asian and Middle East countries.
