Other Media | fishfarmingexpert: Fish farm licence changes remain frozen, confirms Scottish Government

UNITED KINGDOM
Friday, March 28, 2025

SEPA statement that it 'will continue to implement' sea lice framework doesn't mean new limits will be imposed before appeals are heard

The Scottish Government has reiterated that controversial changes to Scottish Environment Protection Agency’s CAR licences for existing salmonid farms won’t be implemented until 210 appeals by fish farmers have been determined.

The changes follow SEPA’s development of its Sea Lice Regulatory Framework (SLRF) designed to mitigate the perceived impact of sea lice from fish farms on migrating wild salmon smolts.

Other Media | Fish Farmer: Joy for cod farmers as prices hit record high

NORWAY
Friday, March 28, 2025

Norway’s cod farmers had every reason to celebrate this week. The reason? The price of cod had reached the highest figure ever recorded – almost NOK 1,000 or £72 per kilo.

The broadcaster NRK said a fishmonger in Bergen had paid the record price for the fish.

That deal valued cod at more than 10 times more than farmed salmon. This figure was probably an exception, however. It related to trawler-caught fish and was for the loin from a high quality variety known as skrei, but there is generally little difference in price levels between caught and farmed cod today.

PERU
Thursday, March 27, 2025

  • More than 6,400 families will benefit from the formalization and strengthening of safety in fishing and aquaculture.

The Ministry of Production (PRODUCE), through the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Health and Safety Authority (Sanipes), will grant more than 1,600 sanitary authorizations in 2025, a key measure to ensure the safety of aquatic products, enhance the sector's competitiveness, and open new opportunities in local and international markets.

"With these sanitary authorizations, we not only ensure the safety of the products, but also promote the formalization and development of thousands of families who depend on this activity," said the Minister of Production, Sergio González, after highlighting the impact of this action.

The sanitary authorizations will allow companies and producers in the sector to operate under quality standards, benefiting frozen processing plants, preserves, oil, flour, oil refining, veterinary products, aquatic product warehouses, and aquaculture production centers, among others. In the first quarter of 2025, more than 330 authorizations will be issued, and by the end of the first semester, it is projected to exceed 720.
