CANADA
Wednesday, March 13, 2024

Delft, The Netherlands-based Veramaris has received full market authorization in Canada to include its algal oil in salmonid feed. 

Veramaris announced on 11 March it secured the authorization after a three-year registration process, opening the market to its algal oil for the first time. Veramaris CEO Gertjan de Koning told SeafoodSource during Seafood Expo North America – which ran from 10 to 12 March in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. – that the registration was the final step in getting its product to market.

Other Media | Industrias Pesqueras: Europe makes progress in its objective of ending false 'green' commercial claims

EUROPEAN UNION
Wednesday, March 13, 2024

The European Parliament once again wants to put an end to “greenwashing” and any commercial claims of an environmental nature that are not verified on the labeling of products, including food. With 467 votes in favor, 65 against and 74 abstentions, the European Parliament has adopted its position on the establishment of the community directive that proposes the creation of a system of verification and prior approval of environmental marketing statements, with the aim of "protecting citizens from misleading advertisements.” The text has been approved in first reading, and will return to the Plenary after the June elections.

IN BRIEF - The Undersecretary of Fisheries chose not to punish illegal fishing of toothfish

ARGENTINA
Tuesday, March 12, 2024

 
Fishing a quota species without being a quota holder is prohibited by the Federal Fisheries Law and is considered a very serious offense.
 
The Tai An vessel does not have a quota for toothfish; Therefore, it can only incidentally capture up to 5 tons per trip, as established by Resolution 9/2023 of the Federal Fisheries Council.
 
However, this ship was operating in the toothfish distribution area, where wells with depths greater than a thousand meters are located, on March 2 and 6. It is suspected that such a large volume could not be loaded in just two days, so the cargo could be made up of 142 tons with a significant proportion of juvenile specimens, which would further aggravate the ship's situation.
 
The toothfish is a species that is protected internationally due to its limited availability and very high vulnerability. Therefore, illegal fishing anywhere in the world can be punished by certifying organizations and even by the market.
 
The fact is of unusual gravity: the Tai An ship has not only stolen 142 tons of toothfish from the Argentine Sea, worth three and a half million dollars, but has also endangered the sustainability of the resource. Given this situation, the only thing the Undersecretary of Fisheries did was tell the boat to leave the distribution area of this species, allowing it to continue fishing in other areas.
 
“It's what I can do,” Juan Antonio López Cazorla told the businessmen who complained about his inaction.[...]

IN BRIEF - Stella Mare advances in mastering the reproduction of red lobster

FRANCE
Tuesday, March 12, 2024

The Corsican scientific platform has obtained seven juveniles old enough to be released at sea. It has reached an additional stage of mastery of crustacean reproduction. 

The Stella Mare scientific platform (University of Corsica – CNRS) has experienced several successes in its work on the reproduction of various species since its creation in 2011. Corsican scientists have thus been able, for several years, to provide shellfish farmers with Diana pond of flat oyster spats or even juvenile Corb to local aquaculture for experimental purposes. The most resounding result concerns the red lobster, because Stella Mare is only the second laboratory in the world to succeed in controlling its reproduction.

"Red lobster farming is unique compared to other species: it takes a very long time, with larvae that are very fragile in terms of health. It requires being constantly at their bedside,” insists Jean-José Philippi, aquaculture manager at Stella Mare. The very first juveniles date back to 2021. A year later, when stage 2 larvae are obtained, the survival rate has increased from 3 to 33%. Since November 2023, the scientific platform has had seven juveniles aged eleven months, a stage where they could be released at sea. If the goal of this work is ecological restoration, there is still a way to go.

IN BRIEF - They design a cultivation circuit that uses aquaculture waste to fertilize salicornia in the Ifapa of Cádiz

SPAIN
Tuesday, March 12, 2024

A research team from the Andalusian Institute for Agricultural, Fisheries, Food and Organic Production Research and Training (Ifapa) El Toruño, located in El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz), and the University of Seville has designed a system to cultivate salicornia rich in antioxidants and other compounds beneficial to health with aquaculture waste.
 
This is the first time that a closed circuit has been developed in which the feces and remains of food from the breeding of bass and sole in tanks are used in other facilities as fertilizer for a green and fleshy plant such as salicornia ramosissima, which has indicated the Discover Foundation in a note.

The novelty of the study lies in the design of a closed circuit where nitrates, a potentially polluting element, can be used from the water discarded from fish farming. However, with the researchers' proposal, the discharge is used directly as fertilizer for salicornia plants, which generate value-added compounds for the gastronomic and pharmaceutical industries.
 
With this integrated system that promotes the joint production of fish and plants, aquaculture waste can be used and its possible environmental impact reduced," Ifapa researcher Marta Castilla explained to the Discover Foundation.[... ]

IN BRIEF - French Navy vessel conducts fisheries inspections

FIJI
Tuesday, March 12, 2024

The French Navy support and assistance ship D’Entrecasteaux was on patrol in the high sea pocket North-West of Fiji to carry out a fisheries policing mission.

During her patrol, FNS D’Entrecasteaux inspected seven fishing vessels over four days. These onboard inspections aim to verify the vessel’s compliance with international regulations adopted by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), the regional organization responsible for fisheries management. During each inspection, a team of sailors from the ship conducts checks on administrative documents, catch logs, fishing gear, and holds.

The vigilance of the sailors, along with real-time information sharing and support from the New Caledonia Maritime Information Fusion Center (CFIM-NC), led to the identification of several suspected violations of regulations and numerous observations during these seven inspections. The results of these inspections are then provided by the CFIM-NC to the FFA, as well as to the flag state of the inspected fishing vessel.

This mission highlights France’s participation in the fight against illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing in the region. This type of fishing threatens the sustainability of fishery resources and the economic interests of coastal states.

GERMANY
Tuesday, March 12, 2024

Tuna is the most appreciated aquatic food item in the EU. Worldwide, the consumption of tuna species amounts to 7.5 million tonnes per year, equalling to a global tuna market value of € 36 billion per year. Unfortunately, this consumption is fully based on wild catch as reproduction of tuna in farms has not (yet) been achieved at commercial scale. This is particularly threatening the Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT), one of the highest quality tuna species.

Other Media | Industrias Pesqueras: The MAC demands more information on the impact of closing trawling in MPAs in 2030

EUROPEAN UNION
Tuesday, March 12, 2024

It seems that, just one year after its publication, the Action Plan for the protection and restoration of marine ecosystems has been forgotten, overlapped by the Nature Restoration Law. Several factors have been key. The main one, the non-binding nature of the Commission's proposal, serving only as guidance and recommendation to the Member States, and the lack of consensus around its main and most controversial proposal: prohibiting bottom fishing in all European MPAs in the horizon.

NORWAY
Tuesday, March 12, 2024

For the first time, the annual fish health report produced by the Norwegian Veterinary Institute can show an overview of the main categories of causes of death for farmed salmon. The farming companies themselves have shared data about this in the industry initiative AquaCloud.

The main causes of mortality registered at national level were “Infectious diseases” with approximately 38%, “Injuries (trauma)” with approximately 33% and “Unknown cause” with around 20%. “Physiological causes” were blamed for 4.5% of mortality, “Environmental conditions” for 2.9%, and “Other causes” for 2%.
