Other Media | iPac.acucultura: Perception of the risk and potential of algae aquaculture in Chile
CHILE
Friday, May 10, 2024
Although algae cultivation in Chile is a reality, production is still very low. Much of the potential surface area for algae production is still unexploited. These characteristics, together with growing seaweed exports, the need for imports in the industrial sector, and seasonal and fluctuating production, suggest a high potential for small-scale seaweed aquaculture in Chile; However, the sector remains underexploited.
It is in this context that a group of researchers from the University of Biobío, the University of Concepción, the University of Florida and (INCAR) have investigated the potential of algae cultivation considering the high incidence of risk for its low production.

Fishermen and farmers also lose their lives in climate change. They therefore share the decarbonization objectives of a European Union (EU) established as a global champion of biodiversity. By competing inside and outside the Twenty-seven with products from third countries with lower environmental and socioeconomic demands, they appeal to the States and European authorities for protection. For their own subsistence and because they are food suppliers for European citizens who depend on the outside world for seven out of every ten fish they consume.

EU LIFE-funded project CIBBRiNA (Coordinated Development and Implementation of Best Practice in Bycatch Reduction in the North-East Atlantic, Baltic and Mediterranean Regions) has embarked on a fully collaborative programme working to minimise the bycatch of Endangered, Threatened and Protected (ETP) marine mammals, seabirds, turtles, sharks, skates, and rays. Funded by the EU LIFE programme and formed of stakeholders from 13 European countries, CIBBRiNA is using cross-border and cross-sectoral collaboration to establish mitigation, monitoring, and assessment programmes in a selection of fisheries with a risk of bycatch of Endangered, Threatened and Protected species.
Iceland Seafood International (ISI) has reported a good start to 2024 after a difficult time last year. It expects to see sales volumes increasing as salmon prices fall.
The company, which withdrew from UK production after selling its Grimsby seafood site, said profits almost doubled during the first quarter despite lower sales. It is a major supplier of salmon to the retail trade.
The 2024 Q1 normalised profit totalled €1.9m (£1.6m) against €1m (£862,000) a year ago.

Philippe Michaud, Seychelles national' FiTI lead, made the statement in a press conference on Wednesday.
"When a government has transparency and participation, it brings interest to the country and Seychelles has gotten a good reputation in the region and globally,"said Michaud.
He added that more still needs to be done, especially on available information on the Seychelles' fisheries sector.
Fisheries is the second top contributor to the economy of Seychelles, an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean.
The 2022 FiTI Report presents a comprehensive array of data identified by the 12 thematic areas of the FiTI Standard. It has catch statistics across different scales of fishing operations to the health of fish populations, along with detailed information on access agreements and governmental subsidies within the sector.
The report also highlights the dedication of the national fisheries authorities to maintaining robust data collection practices and consistent information sharing with the public.
The National Fisheries Authority (NFA) is reporting an uptick in diverse fisheries production out-turns, including for sea cucumber and sea moss (a species of algae).
Principal Director of the NFA’s Capture Fisheries Division, Stephen Smikle, says the Authority welcomes this level of engagement by local producers.
“In recent years, we have seen a rise in non-traditional products like sea moss and sea cucumber, which [are] produced primarily for export, and we have had some level of increased production in conch and lobster,”he said.
Mr. Smikle told JIS News that these products are considered fish under the law and, as such, the industry and its operations must be regulated.
According to a Polaris Market Research Report, the global sea moss industry was valued at US$2.58 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 1.8 percent by 2032.
Aquatic plants are defined as fish under the Fisheries Act.
Persons interested in harvesting and/or growing sea moss, require a license from the NFA.
