IN BRIEF - Unprecedented giant squid marking project, led by IFOP and GEF Humboldt II project, in the Coquimbo Region

CHILE
Friday, March 22, 2024

Within the framework of the execution of the Biological Study Program of giant squid (dosidicus gigas) in Chile (GEF Humboldt II - IFOP), between March 13 and 17, the marking activity of squid specimens was carried out on the coasts of the Coquimbo Region , in the port of Guanaqueros.
 
The general objective of the Program is to establish a biological study program of the giant squid "jibia" in Chile in sectors outside the fishery, with emphasis on renewal and growth rates, complementary to the studies carried out in the monitoring project.
 
 
Among the different specific objectives is the study of migratory patterns of the giant squid through a mark and recapture study. In this context, 50 giant squid were marked with spaghetti-type external marks and two squid marked with satellite transmitters. The relevance of this activity lies in obtaining information on the distribution of the squid in situ, such as the horizontal and vertical migration that this cephalopod carries out on our coasts.
 
The first results obtained from the satellite transmitters are expected in the next 15 and 30 days. If positive results are obtained, this would be the first successful experience in our country in relation to the marking of these animals.
 
The team that worked on the shipments is: MSc. Karen Belmar Salinas (Project Manager), Dr. Patricia Zarate (Researcher) and José Durán, Semi-senior scientific observer.

EUROPEAN UNION
Friday, March 22, 2024

The 92 Spanish licenses to fish in Moroccan waters are still pending appeal before the CJEU

The Advocate General of the EU has proposed this Thursday to the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) that the Council decision concluding the partnership agreement for sustainable fisheries with the Kingdom of Morocco be annulled because she considers that it violates the principle of self-determination of the territory of Western Sahara by not treating it as "separate and distinct" from Morocco.

Other Media | Fish Farmer: Norwegian salmon prices flat as Easter approaches

NORWAY
Friday, March 22, 2024

The price of fresh salmon in Norway has fallen for the fourth consecutive week and is now at its lowest point since the end of January.

According to Statistics Norway, which monitors prices in a regular basis, the fresh variety was down to NOK 106.19 per kilo (£7.88) last week (week 11).

Just a month ago, export fish was selling at NOK 111.25 a kilo (£8.26) with predictions that it would go higher as Easter approached. It now appears that, unless there is a late surge over the next few days, it looks as if there will be no Easter bounce this year.

IN BRIEF - ‘Possibly the end.’ Quebec shrimp fishery facing climate change, tough economy

CANADA
Thursday, March 21, 2024

MONTREAL – For years, the northern shrimp fished in the Quebec waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence have been known as “crevettes de Matane,” named after the town where much of the province’s harvest has been processed since the 1960s.

But after the owners of the town’s processing plant announced its closure this week, there’s fear that it’s not only the Matane shrimp that are on their way out, but the Quebec shrimp fishery as a whole.

Patrice Element, director of the shrimp industry group Office des pêcheurs de crevette du Québec, said "it’s hard to be surprised by the closure. Over the years, temperatures in the gulf have been rising, causing shrimp stocks to plummet and making conditions more favorable for fish species that eat them", he said.

Royal Greenland, owners of the seafood processing plant in Matane, announced Monday that it was closing due to a number of factors including declining shrimp stocks, as well as a lack of employees and “increasing financial challenges” including high shore prices and low market prices.

In January, the federal Department of Fisheries announced that the quota for northern shrimp stocks in the estuary and northern Gulf of St. Lawrence — which includes parts of Quebec, New Brunswick and Newfoundland — would be decreased to 3,060 tonnes, compared to about 14,500 tonnes in 2023.[...]

ONAGRI also reported a 55% increase in export prices compared to January 2023 (27.6 D/KG). The most exported species are fish (2.3 thousand tons), canned and semi-preserved fish (0.5 thousand tons) and shellfish (0.45 thousand tons).

Tunisia exports fish products to 30 countries. Spain is the main importer (37%), followed by Italy (19%) and Japan (16%).

The value of imports of fish products fell by 9.4% to €22.2 million in January 2024. The volume of imports also fell by 19.6% to 4.1 thousand tons. Import prices increased by 12% compared to the same month of 2023 to TND 5.4 Kg.

Of the quantities imported, 83% were used for industrial processing (frozen tuna and anchovies), 10% for market supply and 7% for fattening.
