IN BRIEF - Squid: More than Just Calamari

UNITED STATES
Friday, October 11, 2024

A team of food scientists are working to reduce food waste—starting with squid wings.

Did you know that when squid is caught and processed—often for dishes like calamari—a lot of it goes to waste? In fact, out of the 65 million pounds of squid that are landed every year, about half are tossed out.

In our new podcast episode, we'll meet Rob Dumas and Denise Skonberg—two food scientists from the University of Maine and recipients of NOAA's Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant. They're working to reduce waste by turning squid fins (or wings) into a new, convenient frozen food product. 

The research team combined seafood science with culinary knowledge to make their products. They found innovative ways to test them—including holding an Iron Chef-inspired cooking competition! Listen to the episode to learn more about the work to reduce food waste and open new markets.

IN BRIEF - Squid in the northern area

NETHERLANDS
Monday, November 04, 2024

STELLENDAM/DEN HELDER – The squid also swims across the northern head. A dozen Eurokotters (EU trawlers) were there this week in the zone off the North Holland coast, trawling.

The same goes for the OD 3, which fished with boards for the first time last week after the shrimp season. On Friday 18 October, the switch was made in front of the door in the home port of Stellendam near Westvoorn. Last spring, the Eurokotter got a net roller on the back again and skipper Jan Pieter Luime fished for squid for the first time for a few weeks.

"We just steamed over to the fleet of colleagues. For us this is unknown fishing territory. Previous"It was a bit difficult to get into it last week, but now it's going well," said Luime from the sea.

IN BRIEF - The Province of Chubut Officially Opens Shrimp Season

ARGENTINA
Monday, November 04, 2024

The Chubut Fisheries Secretariat, led by Andrés Pedro Arbeletche, informed the Argentine Naval Prefecture (PNA) of Rawson on Saturday that as of 00:00 hours on Sunday, November 3, 2024, the entry of the fishing fleet would be allowed to the so-called Northern Zone, delimited between the parallels 43 ° 00 'LS and 44 ° 00' LS, thus marking the official start of the shrimp fishing season in provincial waters.
 
 
This decision was made after meeting the criteria established in the resolution of the Fisheries Secretariat that regulates the conditions for the opening of areas destined for commercial fishing, as reported by Nelson Saldivia in his news outlet 'Parte de Pesca'.
 
The survey carried out in the area showed the presence of commercial-sized shrimp, with a predominance of the L2 class, absence of hake bycatch and, as a determining factor, a catch per unit of shrimp effort (measured in kilograms per hour of effective trawling) within the stipulated values.
 
It should be noted that Resolution No. 118/2024 SP establishes the necessary requirements to authorize the opening of each shrimp fishing season, applicable to vessels with valid provincial fishing permits that are authorized to operate in the ZEPR.

OMAN
Monday, November 04, 2024

Muscat: The Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (Opaz) has announced a tender for the complementary works project at the fishing port in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (Sezad), which includes infrastructure and utility networks.

The tender, funded by the Saudi Development Fund, involves the establishment of utility services, such as road networks, traffic signals, power supply for road lighting, rainwater drainage systems, sewage systems, drinking water networks, fire-fighting systems, and communications at the fishing port in Sezad.

Opaz has invited experienced Omani and Saudi corporate coalitions to participate in the tender through the electronic tender platform “Isnad,” with the deadline for submission of tender documents set for 18 November 2024.

The existing port, covering an area of approximately 7.5 square kilometres, consists of 3.3 kilometres of breakwaters, a fixed quay of 1.3 kilometres, six floating berths with a draft depth of up to 10 metres, and a dedicated berth for Coast Guard boats.

The location of the fishing port in Duqm, part of which is already operational, is strategically close to the planned fisheries and food industries area, designed to meet the basic investment needs for targeted food industries, which currently hosts six factories.


IN BRIEF - Russia doubles shrimp imports from China — Fish Union

RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Monday, November 04, 2024

Russian imports of shrimp from China in the first 9 months of 2024 doubled compared to the same period last year and amounted to 2.7 thousand tons, according to calculations by the Analytical Center of the Fish Union.

Experts note that the bulk of the growth was provided by the Vannamei shrimp, while supplies of northern shrimp decreased by 3 times compared to the same period in 2023, to 0.2 thousand tons.

“This dynamic is observed against the backdrop of an increase in the volume of Russian northern shrimp catch by 18%, to 23.4 thousand tons (as of October 22),”  the union’s statement  says .

In monetary terms, shrimp supplies for January-September this year were 75% higher than last year and reached $12.5 million.

Among the main destinations for Chinese shrimp exports, analysts named Malaysia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Spain. Russia's share is only 2% by weight and less than 1% by value.

BANGLADESH
Monday, November 04, 2024

DHAKA (BSS) – Country’s fishermen are set to resume hilsa fishing across the country as  the 22-day ban on catching, selling, and transporting the national fish will ended last midnight.

According to the reports reached here from different coastal areas of the country, the fishermen are now busy preparing nets and boats to go to rivers to catch hilsa ((Tenualosa ilisha).

IN BRIEF - MSC suspended over Granville Bay whelk

FRANCE
Monday, November 04, 2024

A decision against a backdrop of global warming.

The Normandy Regional Committee for Fisheries and Marine Farming (CRPMEM) and Normandie Fraîcheur Mer (NFM) jointly announced on October 28 the suspension of MSC certification for the whelk fishery in Granville Bay. "This suspension is not a questioning of the sustainable management practices implemented by fishing companies operating in Granville Bay," Marc Delahaye, director of the CRPMEM of Normandy, which is leading the initiative, is keen to point out. "Rather, it highlights the need to recognize the impacts of climate change on marine resources."

A cold-water species, the whelk is taking the full brunt of the rise in summer temperatures: mortality, loss of feeding and reduced reproductive capacity. The resource is in sharp decline and the climate is "more than moribund" for the 63 whelk trappers from Granville Bay. Because inflation is not helping. " Consumers have turned away from whelk a little," says Arnauld Manner, director of NFM. The drop in catches has led to a sharp increase in auction prices (+51% between 2010 and 2020, +90% between 2020 and 2023), even if the phenomenon has reversed this year (-45% between 2023 and 2024).

The Marine Stewardship Council certification was obtained in 2017 and renewed in 2023, rewarding the “ considerable  ” management efforts  of fishermen since 1983.

Other Media | iPac.aquaculture: Salmon production in Scotland falls by 11% in 2023 and trout production increases to record levels

UNITED KINGDOM
Monday, November 04, 2024

The Scottish government has published the statistics on Scottish fish aquaculture production for 2023, offering the latest available data on employment and production.
 
Among the main figures is the decline in Atlantic salmon production, which fell by 11%, reaching a total of 150,949 tonnes. These figures were a consequence of the environmental challenges that production faced last year. However, and as Salmon Scotland reported a few days ago, in the first half of 2024 production increased by 15 percent compared to the same period last year. In the first half of 2023, salmon production reached 75,000 tonnes, and for the same period in 2024 that same value reaches 86,600 tonnes.

Other Media | fishfarmingexpert: 40% more farmed salmon by 2033, says Kontali

NORWAY
Monday, November 04, 2024

Production of farmed salmon is projected to increase by 27% by 2030, seafood analyst Kontali said today.

And expanding land-based production is expected to be the largest contributor to increased growth by 2033, when growth is expected to reach 40% above current levels.

Kontali's long-term analysis indicates that the industry’s turnaround after several years of stagnant growth will depend on continued innovation to address regulatory constraints and health challenges. Europe is expected to lead this growth, with production increasing by approximately 25%, while the Americas will experience more modest gains at around 11%.
