Other Media | Fish Farmer: Norwegian seafood exports grow in April despite trade unrest and falling prices

NORWAY
Tuesday, May 06, 2025

Despite turmoil in world trade caused by US tariffs, the value of Norwegian seafood exports hit an all time April record last month with salmon again taking the lead.

Norwegian Seafood Council CEO Christian Chramer said the growth was due to increased export volume and rising demand for Norwegian salmon in important markets such as the USA and China.

Norway exported seafood worth NOK 14.3 billion (just over £1 bn) in April. This is an increase of NOK 293 million (£21m), or 2% compared to the same month last year.

WORLDWIDE
Monday, May 05, 2025

Patagonian toothfish will be subject to a management plan to adapt the resource's status to fishing. Therefore, the management plan, established for three years, is currently being reviewed in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. Economic interest is crucial, since France receives €100 million from this resource for approximately 6,000 tons.
 
The fishing of this precious resource, exported mainly to China and the United States, is governed by a management plan based on the total allowable catch (Tac), revised annually. Scientific monitoring of the resource is carried out by the National Museum of Natural History, with a monitor on board the vessels.

Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: The Government wants to know what fishing does with plastic gear

SPAIN
Monday, May 05, 2025

Based on the marine litter that appears on beaches, the European Commission estimates that between 80 and 85% is plastic, and that 27% is "fishing-related." The law that, implementing an EU directive, will specifically regulate the management of plastic waste from fishing gear has not yet been approved in Spain. However, Brussels already requires member countries to monitor the waste entering their markets, the waste generated, and what is done with it. Among other reasons, this information will be used to establish "binding" annual collection and recycling rates.
