They write in the stock exchange announcement that the acquisition is strategically important and complements Endúr's existing business.

As part of the acquisition, Endúr has issued and transferred a total of 937,566 shares to the sellers. Of these, 887,566 shares have been issued through a capital increase, while 50,000 shares have been transferred from the company's holdings of treasury shares.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) plans to purchase USD 50 million (EUR 48 million) worth of Alaska pollock in 2025 in support of the federal government’s food bank and nutrition programs.

ASMI noted that the purchases will help the Alaskan pollock sector, which is struggling with low prices and other challenges.

Alaska’s pollock fishery harvested nearly 1.3 million metric tons (MT) of fish in 2024, just shy of the amount allocated for the fishery by regulators. The pollock B season was closed early in September 2024 after two pollock trawlers accidentally harvested 2,000 Chinook salmon, triggering the fishery’s bycatch limit. The incident resulted in 50,000 MT of quota left in the Gulf of Alaska.

The January mackerel fishery is progressing well with productive marks of high-quality fish being located by the Scottish fleet.

Fishing to the west of Shetland, the fleet have been catching good-sized mackerel, which are in strong demand from the markets.

Ally West, co-skipper of the Fraserburgh-registered Resolute and vice-chairman of the Scottish Pelagic Fishermen’s Association said: “There have also been plenty of small fish to the north-east of the core fishing area, but these have not been fished. It is good to see these smaller fish and it means good recruitment is coming through in the stock.

“Mackerel quality has been very good and we have encountered plenty of fish and demand from the markets is high.”

The Resolute has been landing its catches into Pelagia Shetland in Lerwick, as well as Egersund, Norway.

Robert Duthie, chairman of the Scottish Pelagic Processors Association, said demand was especially good from the Japanese and other Far Eastern markets, which were exhibiting encouraging growth.

The winter mackerel season will come to an end within the next fortnight, after which some of the Scottish fleet will work a short fishery off Norway for Atlanto-Scandian herring and for blue whiting to the west of Ireland. The next major pelagic fishery will be for MSC certified North Sea herring, which will commence in mid-summer, with the autumn mackerel fishery following thereafter.

Danish fishermen achieved notable success in 2024, landing 96,350 tons of herring valued at 610 million kroner, according to Svend Boye Thomsen of Fiskeritidende.

This marks a significant improvement over 2023, when landings totaled 82,913 tons with a value of 519 million kroner. The figures represent a 16% increase in volume and a 17% rise in total value year-on-year.

The average price per kilogram also showed a slight uptick, reaching 6.33 kroner in 2024 compared to 6.26 kroner in the previous year.

A majority of the herring was caught in the northern part of the North Sea, with most of the catch being landed at Skagen, a key hub for the Danish fishing industry.
