IN BRIEF - Law 21,532 that prevents and penalizes the escape of salmon entered into force

CHILE
Monday, February 06, 2023

After being dispatched to law by the Senate on January 10, and published in the Official Gazette, January 31, this initiative came into force that prevents and penalizes the escape of salmon from aquaculture centers with suspension of operations and with fines.
 
The Undersecretary of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Julio Salas, assures that "this regulation paves the way towards a more sustainable, safe and transparent activity that protects artisanal fishing, since the escape of salmonids from their farming centers generates a direct affectation in the marine ecosystem and the surrounding communities".
 
The five main points of Law 21,532 are the following:
  • It establishes security conditions in the farming and anchoring modules, and the sanction if there is a lack of diligence in this obligation.
  • Sanctions any action that causes salmon escapes with the penalties established in article 440 of the Penal Code.
  • Establishes the obligation and term for the recapture of escaped species.
  • Establishes the collaboration of artisanal ship owners in the recapture process and the declaration of accidental catches of salmonid species.
  • It requires the publication of the quantity and class of antibiotics and antiparasitics used, and their respective biomass, mortality and harvest.

IN BRIEF - In Russia they propose to ban the production of canned fish

RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Tuesday, December 05, 2023

The Fish Union came up with a proposal to ban the production of canned fish according to technical specifications (TU), which are subject to GOST standards in the country.

These are, for example, sprats in oil or natural saury. This initiative was announced during an open meeting of representatives of Rosselkhoznadzor and the fishing community, which the publication “Veterinary and Life” organized at the site of the VII International Fishery Forum in St. Petersburg.

Sergei Gudkov, head of the consumer market development department of the Fish Union, began his speech with a problem: Russians eat little fish, and the level of its consumption is declining. According to the Fishing Union, fish consumption in Russia has decreased by 30% since 2013. “No other food product has undergone such critical changes, and we attribute this to two reasons,” said Sergei Gudkov. One of them is the increase in the cost of fish raw materials, which is higher than inflation, in contrast to meat and dairy products. But this is not the main reason for the sharp decline in fish consumption, the speaker noted. “We came to the conclusion that the reduction in consumption is most influenced by the quality of products,” said a representative of the union.

IN BRIEF - Oversea seafood buyers begin business trip in Japan

JAPAN
Tuesday, December 05, 2023

AOMORI – Fish wholesalers from the United States, Canada and Singapore started a business trip on Monday to four northeastern prefectures as the local fishing industry continues to reel from China's import ban on Japanese marine products.

The tour was organized by the government-linked Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) to help the country's fishery business operators find alternative buyers for their products.

The Chinese government has banned imports of Japanese marine products to protest against the release of treated water into the ocean from the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in the Tohoku region.

The buyers from six companies, who are interested in scallops, yellowtail and sea urchin, observed an auction at a wholesale market in the city of Aomori on Monday morning.

Later, they inspected bluefin tuna caught off Aomori Prefecture and held a meeting with a local fishery wholesaler.

The wholesalers will, from Tuesday, visit fish markets and fishery business operators in the prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima.

SPAIN
Monday, December 04, 2023

  • The courses started last week and will improve significantly exponentially the life expectancy of a sailor who suffers an episode of cardiac arrest.

A Guarda - Orpagu -Guardeses Longliners Organization-is taking a step forward in its goal of improving the safety on board of its crews by launching courses in cardiac resuscitation and the use of defibrillators, a vital utensil that it will progressively install in the ships of its fleet. This is a key initiative for a quick and effective response to possible heart problems among crew members, which cannot be treated quickly given their work at sea.
 
The courses began last week and will continue to be developed throughout the month of December, taught by specialists from the company that supplies the defibrillators.
