Mussels – the sustainable seafood superstar making waves in aquaculture. The humble mussel, often overlooked in the seafood aisle, is quietly revolutionising the aquaculture industry. Not only are mussels delicious and nutritious, but they are emerging as champions of sustainable seafood, offering a glimmer of hope for a healthier planet. Recent data paints a compelling picture of their positive impact, and forward-thinking companies are leading the charge in responsible mussel farming.
Mussels are filter feeders, meaning they naturally clean the water around them.

North Sea, Skagerrak, and Kattegat Quotas Triple on Positive Scientific Advice, Signaling Healthier Stock.
COPENHAGEN – European fishermen are set to benefit from a substantial increase in the sprat fishing quota for the upcoming period of July 1, 2025, to June 31, 2026. The total allowable catch for sprat in the North Sea, Skagerrak, and Kattegat has been set at 236,114 tonnes, a significant rise that brings welcome news to the industry, as reported by Line Dalgaard Jensen from fiskeritidende.
Danish fishermen, in particular, are poised to gain considerably, with their allocated share reaching 163,334 tonnes in the North Sea and 28,942 tonnes in the Skagerrak.
This increased quota directly aligns with the positive scientific advice issued by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) earlier this year. Crucially, the 2025-2026 recommendation represents more than triple the advice provided by ICES for the previous year, indicating a robust and improving status for the sprat stock in these vital fishing grounds. The decision reflects confidence in the sustainable management of this key pelagic species.
Donald Trump, President of the United States, has repeatedly reiterated his desire to annex Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark with a significant fishing industry where more than 90% of exports are seafood. Hence, the European Parliament's Fisheries Committee highlights the "special relevance" of the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement with Greenland, which it has just approved by a resounding majority. When the European Parliament ratifies it, a pact will come into force that will allow the EU fleet to fish in Greenlandic waters until 2030. For these six years, the EU will disburse €104 million and shipowners, €27 million.

The vessel, named "Moules Frites," was designed for offshore mussel harvesting and farming operations using a long-line system. Its construction represents a new milestone in the history of the Galician shipyard, which is advancing its internationalization process and has already delivered 104 vessels, a figure that will continue to grow with the units currently in production.

Fishermen in Guernsey have appealed for a better deal with the EU after the UK struck up a new agreement this week.
Pierre Le Cheminant, a fisherman on the island, said the States of Guernsey had a "golden opportunity" to achieve a deal that would benefit the fishing industry.
Discussing the current situation, he said: "I don't think there will be a fishing fleet in the future in Guernsey unless we can land back into the European ports without all this red tape."
