Other Media | SalmonBusiness: Ukraine’s latest defence? Used salmon nets are now stopping Russian drones mid-air

UKRAINE
Friday, May 30, 2025

Old fish farming nets repurposed to protect frontline infrastructure in Ukraine.

Old salmon farming nets from Norway are being repurposed into camouflage nets for use in Ukraine, according to a report by Norwegian public broadcaster NRK.

Although Norwegian regulations require used aquaculture nets to be recycled domestically, some companies are sending discarded gear to Ukraine, where it is converted into protective coverings for trenches, tanks and infrastructure.

Other Media | fishfarmingexpert: Redundant Scottish salmon sites 'could host £50m halibut industry'

UNITED KINGDOM
Friday, May 30, 2025

Scottish fish farm sites that are no longer suitable for salmon farming could have a second life as halibut farms, aquaculture veteran Alastair Barge believes.

Barge has spent years running Otter Ferry Seafish, which is situated on the eastern shore on Loch Fyne and is one of just a handful of companies in the world producing halibut juveniles.

The fish are being produced for Otter Ferry Seafish’s new owner Amar Seafoods and are being shipped to its grow-out facilities in Norway and Atlantic Canada.

Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: The European Union fleet warns that supermarkets will soon only have Atlantic tuna caught by Asian vessels

EUROPEAN UNION
Thursday, May 29, 2025

Opagac tuna fishermen say that environmental demands have driven the fleet out of the fishing ground, where Asian-owned vessels registered in African countries operate.
 
The Organization of Associated Producers of Large Tuna Freezers (Opagac) considers the Atlantic lost to the European fleet. In a meeting with journalists, the organization's managing director, Julio Morón, stated that "it is only a matter of time" before European supermarkets stop offering Atlantic tuna caught by European vessels and sell only tuna from Asian fleets.
 
The explanation lies in the "expulsion" of the EU fleet in recent years, as a result of regulatory pressure on Europeans and, at the same time, the lack of effective control over compliance with management measures by Asian-owned fleets, but registered in African countries such as Ghana, Senegal, or Guinea.

The NGO Again Criticizes the Permission of "Destructive Fishing" in Protected Areas
 
Just days before the opening of the third United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, taking place from June 9 to 13, Oceana is intensifying its campaign against trawling in marine protected areas. After launching a petition drive in the United Kingdom, the organization is now targeting the summit's host country and denouncing the high fishing pressure in terms of trawling to which some of France's most "emblematic" MPAs are subjected: 17,000 hours of "destructive fishing" by 100 fishing vessels, 70% French and the rest from other EU states—including Spain—according to the NGO's estimates based on data from Global Fishing Watch.

Other Media | BBC: Chile's salmon farms hope for calmer waters

CHILE
Thursday, May 29, 2025

Chile is the world's second-largest exporter of farmed salmon, and the biggest supplier to the US. In the south of the country a dispute continues over the large number of salmon farms that are located in supposedly protected areas.

The port city of Puerto Montt, more than 1,000km (600 miles) south of Chile's capital Santiago, is at the heart of the country's farmed Atlantic salmon industry.

At a processing facility on the outskirts of town workers kitted out in white suits, hairnets, facemasks, and blue plastic gloves and boots prepare fresh and smoked salmon for export to the US and Japan.

IN BRIEF - China-Japan Fisheries Dialogue Held in Shanghai, Fostering East China Sea Resource Cooperation

CHINA
Wednesday, May 28, 2025

SHANGHAI – China and Japan held a vital Fisheries Cooperation Dialogue in Shanghai on May 26, bringing together officials from both nations to enhance collaborative efforts in sustainable fisheries management. The meeting, co-chaired by representatives from China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, focused on critical issues concerning East China Sea resources.

The two sides exchanged updates on their respective fisheries development and management strategies. China highlighted its recent achievements in promoting green aquaculture, strengthening offshore and distant-water fisheries management, conserving aquatic biological resources, and combating illegal fishing. Japan, in turn, detailed revisions to its fishery resource assessment and management system and shared results from its assessment of East China Sea surface fish, including mackerel.

Discussions also covered other shared concerns, notably the strengthened conservation and management of eel resources. During the dialogue, delegates visited the East China Sea Fisheries Research Institute and the Shanghai Aquatic Wildlife Conservation Center, gaining insights into resource surveys and efforts to conserve species like the Chinese sturgeon.

Both nations affirmed their strong foundation and broad potential for fisheries cooperation.
