Other Media | SalmonBusiness: Why BioMar is quietly adding this ingredient to every salmon feed

DENMARK
Tuesday, July 08, 2025

BioMar increases vitamin D3 levels in salmon feed following research findings.

Feed producer BioMar has more than doubled the vitamin D3 content across all its salmon diets, following internal trials that linked elevated supplementation to higher fillet vitamin levels without adverse effects on fish performance.

The move comes after the EU raised the maximum permitted vitamin D3 concentration in aquafeed for salmonids from 2,500 to 60,000 IU/kg in 2019. BioMar said its research confirmed that higher dietary inclusion led to a proportional increase in vitamin D3 in the fish fillet, with no measurable impact on growth, feed intake, or conversion rates.

Other Media | EuropaAzul: Irish Sea herring concern: ICES recommends limiting catches to 2,935 tonnes in 2026

DENMARK
Monday, July 07, 2025

The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) has updated its assessment of fishing opportunities for herring (Clupea harengus) in the Northern Division 7a of the Irish Sea (north of 52°30'N). In its latest advice, published on June 6, 2025, ICES advises that, applying the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) approach, catches should not exceed 2,935 tonnes in 2026, a figure lower than the previous recommendation (3,206 tonnes for 2025).
 
This adjustment is due to a continued decline in spawning stock biomass (SSB) and a level of fishing mortality that remains above sustainable limits.

SPAIN
Monday, July 07, 2025

The Vigo-based parent company's liquidation process concludes with a debt of €120 million
 
Three months after the liquidation phase began, Atunlo is now history.

This move puts an end to the 18-year history of Atunes y Lomos, the head of a fishing group that once had a turnover of nearly €250 million and employed more than a thousand people across its plants in Galicia, Vila Nova de Cerveira, Santoña, and Cape Verde.

UNITED KINGDOM
Monday, July 07, 2025

Fishing businesses are calling for urgent repairs to the lock gates at Plymouth's Sutton Harbour.

The Plymouth Fishing & Seafood Association said fishers were losing between £1,200 to £2,000 a day because the problem reduced the time they had to fish and land catches.

Plymouth MP Luke Pollard has called on the Environment Agency to take urgent action to fix the gates and prevent further breakdowns.

The Environment Agency said repairs were a priority and work would start on Monday.

Other Media | Fish Farmer: Icelandic parliament agonises over new fishing fees bill

ICELAND
Monday, July 07, 2025

The Althingi, Iceland’s parliament, has been debating measures that,  if approved, will greatly add to the costs of both sea fishing and fish farming companies. Fierce argument is expected to continue through today in the legislature. 

Known as the Fishing Fees Bill, the measure was brought in by the new government earlier this year and has met with fierce opposition from the industry.

Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir said last night the government wants to settle the issue. Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir, Chairwoman of the Independence Party, says however that she cannot agree to let the fishing fees bill pass as it would have serious consequences for the country’s seafood communities.

Other Media | Industrias Pesqueras: German fleet activity grows 4% in volume, but declines 1.3% in value

GERMANY
Friday, July 04, 2025

The German offshore and coastal fishing fleet landed around 162,530 tons of fish in 2024, representing a 4% increase over the previous year. According to the Federal Office of Agriculture and Food (BLE), the increase is primarily due to higher catch quotas in the Northeast Atlantic, especially for pelagic species such as herring. However, despite the growth in volume, revenue decreased by 1.3%, reaching €179.6 million, compared to €181.9 million in 2023. The government indicates that the composition of the catches, with a higher proportion of low-value species, has influenced the economic performance for the year.
