The event's socioeconomic impact report, prepared by the Vigo Free Trade Zone, estimates an unmet demand of 2,260 square meters due to a lack of exhibition space. More than 80 exhibitors were excluded, and the opportunity to close deals worth an estimated €113 million was lost.
The figures once again confirm the significant role played by the Conxemar International Frozen Seafood Fair as a global epicenter for promoting trade relations in the industry.
In the 2024 edition, when the Vigo fair celebrated its 25th anniversary, participating companies closed deals worth €847 million

Three-Sixty Aquaculture, the UK’s sushi-grade prawn experts, is setting new benchmarks in aquaculture efficiency and sustainability by introducing to its operations new technological trials with NanobOx and GIS Gas Infusion Systems Inc. These collaborations are key to furthering the company’s mission to drive innovation in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS).
Three-Sixty Aquaculture has begun a trial with NanobOx, the low cost nanobubble water treatment company, to test the introduction of their breakthrough nanobubble generation technology into its RAS system.
The UK’s seafood trade with the rest of the world is outpacing broader UK imports and exports, but concerns exist around proposed US tariffs and a challenging global landscape.
Those are among the findings of the 2024 UK Seafood Trade report, published yesterday.
The report offers an overview of UK seafood import and export trade, highlighting trends and examining the influence of national, international, and global events on markets.
It shows that seafood performed better than total UK goods trade, showing growth in 2024, as export value increased 13.0% to £2.0bn and import value increased 1.6% to £3.8bn. This was driven largely by strong performance in salmon and mackerel exports to key markets like the EU, US, and China.

The fish is now synonymous with sushi but it took an initiative from Norway to make it happen
These days, we are used to seeing raw salmon as an essential ingredient of the Japanese dish, sushi. But it hasn’t always been the case. No shogun ever ate salmon in such a way, and it was absent from the Edo period.
In fact, its raw salmon's inclusion in sushi only began in 1985, thanks to a group of determined Norwegians intent on persuading the Japanese that their fish could complement the national dish.
The impact of that effort has been impressive.

Stable demand matches supply in major producing regions, with prices ranging from $1.33 to $1.55 per kilogram.
Tilapia prices across Brazil's key producing regions remained largely stable during the first half of June, reflecting a balanced market where demand appears to be well-adjusted to supply. This consistency in pricing, with minimal fluctuations, was highlighted in data released today by the Peixe BR/Cepea Tilapia Price Indicator.
In the West of Paraná, recognized as the primary national production hub for tilapia, the price per kilogram was quoted at R$7.41 (approximately $1.33 USD). Meanwhile, the North of Paraná recorded the highest value among the monitored regions, with tilapia reaching R$8.59/kg (approximately $1.55 USD).
Other significant producing areas also reported stable figures:
Morada Nova de Minas (MG): The average price stood at R$8.46/kg (approximately $1.52 USD).
Great Lakes region (encompassing parts of São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul): Prices were R$8.11/kg (approximately $1.46 USD).
Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba regions: Tilapia was negotiated at R$8.31/kg (approximately $1.50 USD).
The current market environment suggests an equilibrium between what producers are supplying and what consumers and buyers are demanding. This stability is anticipated to persist in the short term, though future price movements could be influenced by external factors such as prevailing weather conditions and evolving consumption trends in the coming months.
The undersigned business associations reject the signing of the Treaty on Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ), which was signed by the Peruvian Government in Nice, France. This treaty represents a loss of our country's sovereignty in decision-making regarding the sustainable use of fishery resources.
The BBNJ imposes unnecessary restrictions and aims to weaken effective regional organizations in which Peru participates, such as the Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs), which are effective instruments for guaranteeing the sustainability of marine resources based on scientific evidence.
This agreement is promoted by NGOs that seek to dismantle productive sectors like fishing in our country, a sector that generates thousands of jobs and is a motor for decentralized development. We reject the Government signing agreements that affect food security, destroy formal jobs, and threaten private investment.
It is surprising that technical information was not requested from key sectors such as the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Production, the Peruvian Sea Institute, business associations, and sector workers, among others, to reach a consensual decision benefiting national interests.
Let us not allow ideological interests disguised as conservation to undermine our ability to responsibly manage our resources.
Under the theme "From Challenge to Opportunity: how to boost the efficiency and sales of a resilient sector," this strategic event will tackle key challenges and opportunities facing the fishing and canning industries.
With Spain leading fish and preserved seafood production in Europe and Galicia as an innovation hub, the Forum will offer strategic insights. Topics include artificial intelligence in fisheries management, digital transformation of production processes, supply chain sustainability, new commercialization avenues, and competitive business development models.
Renowned speakers will share their expertise, including Luisa Álvarez (Fedepesca) on consumption trends, María José Chapela Garrido (Anfaco-Cecopesca) on high-value processing solutions, María Martínez-Herrera (Asedas) providing a retail perspective on sustainability, and Pablo Pita (CICA) presenting practical AI applications in sustainable fisheries, such as the Os Miñarzos Marine Reserve. A panel discussion, moderated by Javier Fraga (Abanca Mar), will address attracting and retaining executive talent.
Aimed at manufacturers, processors, wholesalers, and technical directors, as well as institutional representatives and research centers, the event is supported by key entities such as Anfaco-Cecopesca, Fedepesca, and Conxemar, solidifying its sector-wide impact.
Eco Aquafarm completes second transfer of Atlantic salmon to RAS facility.
Eco Aquafarm has successfully completed the transfer of its second batch of Atlantic salmon fry to its RAS1 system at South Korea’s first land-based salmon farming facility in Busan.
The fry, which had recently completed yolk sac absorption in the hatchery, were moved into the recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) as part of the company’s phased production cycle. Previous batches transferred to both RAS1 in February and RAS2 in May are reportedly developing in good health.

The UK government has says it want to widen a ban on a kind of fishing called 'ocean bottom trawling' in protected areas.
Bottom trawling is a type of fishing that involves dragging large weighted nets along the seafloor to catch fish.
But it also damages the ocean floor, and can hurt other marine life living there.
It's already banned in some parts of the UK but ministers say the plan is to make the rules stronger, and safeguard more seafloor in the UK's protected areas.
Aldi is dropping prices on more than 400 products across its more than 2,400-plus stores in the U.S., even as other retailers warn that tariffs could lead to price hikes this summer.
Aldi is slashing prices on around 25 percent of its products for the summer, from fresh meat for grilling to organic produce, pantry staples and “summer favorites,” the company said. The price cuts include its Atlantic salmon portions, which are now USD 8.69 (EUR 7.62) a pound.
The massive discount grocery chain claims its lowered prices will save customers USD 100 million (EUR 88 million) this summer on top of the USD 8.3 billion (EUR 7.3 billion) it says shoppers at its stores reportedly save annually.
