The event, held at the La Tierra sin Mal Auditorium, culminated with the presentation of certificates to over 200 fish-farming families.
The program, which began its journey in 2023, had a territorial impact across 23 municipalities. Its main objective was to transform the local productive matrix through strategic training in:
Regenerative aquaculture and sustainability.
Commercial management and planning.
Gender focus applied to the sector.
A Sector with Huge Potential This training addresses a structural need within the province. Misiones ranks as the jurisdiction with the highest number of fish farmers in the country, hosting over 4,000 productive units. However, the current challenge is commercialization: currently, only 9% of producers manage to sell more than 30% of their production.
With the conclusion of Mayma Azul, the province seeks to reverse this statistic, professionalizing families so they can make the leap from a subsistence economy to a scalable and sustainable business model.
The Ministry of Production (Produce) has established a complementary catch quota of 38,659 tons of jumbo squid or pota (Dosidicus gigas). This measure aims to support artisanal fishing vessels and will be in effect until December 31, 2025.
Ministerial Resolution Nº 00402-2025-PRODUCE, published in the Official Gazette El Peruano, authorizes the extraction of this resource, adding to the quota previously approved by another resolution.
Benefited Fleet: Artisanal fishing vessels with a valid fishing permit.
Start of Extraction: Extraction activities are authorized starting at 00:00 hours on November 21, 2025.
Flexibility and Monitoring
Produce emphasizes that this complementary quota is subject to modification. The Peruvian Marine Institute (Imarpe) will monitor the environmental or biological circumstances of the resource and may recommend adjustments to the quota, ensuring the sustainability of the jumbo squid.

The forum, which coincided with National Fish Day, gathered 300 domestic and international participants under the theme “Accelerate National Economic Growth Through the Downstreaming of Fisheries.”
Machmud, the Acting Director General of Competitiveness at the Ministry, stated that the event serves as a critical platform to promote government policies on "downstreaming"—the processing of raw materials to increase value. The goal is to move beyond raw exports and foster concrete partnerships that boost the domestic economy.
Key Highlights:
Global Interest: To enhance Indonesia’s investment appeal, the forum attracted delegations from the Netherlands, Singapore, the European Investment Bank, the Swiss Import Promotion Programme, JICA, and the Indo-Australia Business Council.
Domestic Synergy: Local attendees included regional governments, fish farmers, logistics providers, cold chain operators, and financial institutions.
Actionable Outcomes: Through panel sessions and one-on-one business matching, the Ministry expects the event to yield immediate business agreements and long-term investment realization.
Following an unexpected drop last week, Norwegian fresh salmon prices are on the up again according to the latest figures from Statistics Norway.
In the period between 10 and 16 November – week 46 – they rose to NOK 80.10 per kilo (£6.02), just a few pence down on the prices seen two weeks earlier. This represents an increase of 2.6% which is hardly likely to cause a great deal of excitement on the market.
Norway’s export volumes were down by just over 600 metric tons to 23,488 tons, which is still a reasonable figure and several thousand tons higher than back in the spring when they were hovering around the 18,000 ton mark.

Record low juvenile salmon counts on River Frome raise extinction concerns.
An annual monitoring programme on the River Frome in Dorset has recorded the lowest number of juvenile wild Atlantic salmon since surveys began more than two decades ago, reinforcing warnings over the species’ long-term viability in UK rivers.
Conservationists from the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) counted and tagged 3,226 juvenile salmon during their four-week summer survey, less than a third of the 10,000 fish they typically aim to sample and below last year’s previous record low of 4,593.

The country's government has expanded its complaint against the Galician shipyard for alleged irregularities in the notarial deeds.
The president of the Bank of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay (BROU), Álvaro García, spoke this week about the case of the ocean patrol vessels awarded to the Vigo-based shipyard Cardama, warning that the payment scheduled for January "is irrevocable." This is despite the complaint filed by the government with the Public Prosecutor's Office after detecting "strong indications of fraud" and irregularities associated with the guarantee presented by the Galician company to build the vessels, valued at approximately 84 million euros. So far, the Beiramar-based firm has received 26 million euros.

The European Commission has selected 70 projects to help decarbonize transport and strengthen the competitiveness of EU industries by installing the necessary infrastructure to refuel different modes of transport. These projects will receive over €600 million in funding from the "Connecting Europe Facility" to stimulate sustainable investments in urban areas, including ports and airports, as well as along road sections of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). Specifically, 24 ports will receive funding to deploy port electricity supply, green port operations, and invest in ammonia supply infrastructure. These measures will contribute to the sector's transition to renewable and low-carbon fuels, a priority supported by the recent Sustainable Transport Investment Plan.

Fifty chefs and artisanal fishers gathered in Patagonia, Argentina, for a public event focused on local seafood and marine conservation, as discussions continue over a proposed amendment to Law 1355 – the 2021 legislation that prohibits open-net salmon farming in Tierra del Fuego.
The event, held on November 15 at the Ushuaia Aeroclub, brought together figures from the region’s culinary and fishing sectors. Under the banner “Fuegian Cuisine Honouring the Sea”, chefs Jorge Monopoli and Lino Adillón worked with cooks and fishers to prepare dishes featuring local species such as rock cod, clams, mussels, silverside and cholgas. The initiative aimed to promote regional seafood consumption and highlight the connection between the community and artisanal fishers.

Norway will eliminate the year from fishing tags starting in 2026 to simplify processes, reduce waste, and improve control of the fishing sector.
Beginning with the 2026 fishing season, Norway will implement a new tagging system for fish and boxes, eliminating the year printed on the tags. The goal is to simplify the process, reduce environmental impact, and optimize financial control within the fishing sector.
In 2022, during the review of the Skriemärke system standard, tags with a two-year validity period were introduced to reduce the risk of fraud. However, after three years of evaluation, the Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC) concluded that the measure created more bureaucracy than benefits.
