Europêche welcomed the constructive exchange with European Commissioner for Fisheries and Oceans Costas Kadis and the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU, focusing on the urgent reforms needed to strengthen the competitiveness, resilience and long-term sustainability of Europe’s fishing sector. The meeting focused on the future of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), regulatory simplification, and the need to secure a sustainable and prosperous future for Europe’s fishing communities.

Europêche stressed that while the EU fishing fleet has delivered remarkable environmental progress over the past decade, the current policy framework has failed to achieve its socio-economic objectives.

Thailand has launched its first research project to farm Atlantic salmon domestically, with scientists using a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) to assess whether commercial production is feasible in the tropical country.

The project is being led by the Faculty of Fisheries at Kasetsart University in partnership with PTT LNG. Researchers are studying salmon growth, nutrition and the economics of production to determine whether a domestic industry could be established.The first phase of the project began after 20,000 fertilised Atlantic salmon eggs were imported from Chile in early May.

Salmon farming has become one of the world’s most successful aquaculture industries. It has provided large volumes of healthy protein, created employment in coastal regions and built a global market for farmed Atlantic salmon.

For many years, the main production model has been relatively simple: produce smolt on land, transfer the fish to sea cages and grow them to harvest size in the ocean. This model has been extremely effective. It has allowed the industry to scale up and in the right locations it remains a very efficient way to produce salmon.

During the 2026 Applied AI SummIT, Mowi Chile presented its Smart Farming 4.0 strategy, which relies on artificial intelligence, real-time monitoring, and data analysis to optimize feeding, anticipate environmental risks, and strengthen decision-making in salmon production.

Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in salmon farming—not only in automating processes but also in enhancing the ability to anticipate production, environmental, and health-related events. This was one of the key takeaways shared by Mowi Chile during the 2026 Applied Artificial Intelligence SummIT hosted by Duoc UC in Puerto Montt.
