IN BRIEF - Maine to spend $400K on studying how offshore wind power might affect fisheries

UNITED STATES
Thursday, November 16, 2023

Fishing operations and fishing communities along Maine’s coast are the focus of the state’s initial research solicitations related to offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine.

“As a result of extensive stakeholder engagement and collaboration with partners, we are pleased to publish a call for proposals for two key research objectives that are critical to helping us move responsible offshore wind forward,” said Dan Burgess, director of the Governor’s Energy Office, which is overseeing development of the industry, still in the nascent stage. 

A request for proposals, issued Nov. 8, is based on priorities identified by the Maine Offshore Wind Research Consortium, an assembly of fisheries, wildlife and marine science and industry experts advising the state’s offshore wind research. 

The priorities include pathways to coexistence between fisheries and offshore wind as well as potential social and ecological impact of offshore wind development. 

Research topics identified by a board of advisors to the consortium are:

  • Exploring approaches to fisheries coexistence with floating offshore wind (maximum $250,000).
  • Inventorying baseline data on socioeconomics of Maine fishing communities to help assess potential positive and negative impacts of floating offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine (maximum $150,000).

IN BRIEF - Judge orders temporary closure of borders to Ecuadorian shrimp

MEXICO
Thursday, November 16, 2023

The Judge of the Seventh District of the Judicial Branch of the Federation, José Francisco Pérez Mier, reported that he received a collective protection filed by aquaculturists from Sinaloa for the massive smuggling of shrimp from Ecuador, a country that, he clarified, is not in the Treaty of Free Trade with Central America or North America.

Pérez Mier stated that in the country there is a type of triangulation where shrimp from Ecuador is passed off as if it were from Guatemala, Honduras or the United States without traceability.

In that sense, he said that it was ordered that a verification procedure of origin be carried out at the Secretariats of Economy and the Secretariat of Agriculture and SENASICA to verify where the shrimp that enters Mexico comes from, for this he pointed out that it was also ordered the temporary closure of all borders.

"There is an oversupply, the market is flooded and because it is flooded by massive shrimp smuggling and we have to take action on the matter and we are taking them."

He explained that the introduction of Ecuadorian shrimp is flooding the national market, causing an oversupply of the product, causing the price of farmed and bay shrimp to drop significantly, causing a severe crisis in the sector.

IN BRIEF - Studies on shrimp fishing in Costa Rica show errors, deficiencies and risks

COSTA RICA
Thursday, November 16, 2023

Detachment from scientific methods, lack of rigor and unhealthy conditions have been the protagonists in the first phase of research on shrimp developed by the Costa Rican Institute of Fisheries in the Pacific, denounced the environmental organization Mar Viva.

With the objective of identifying fishing areas and fishing grounds, duration of hauls and minimum number of hauls necessary, Incopesca made changes in the execution of the study for shrimp fishing, by establishing a “pre-sampling pilot phase.” for the first three months, between April and June.

However, the approval of this change, as well as other substantial adjustments to the methodology, is not recorded in the agreements of the Board of Directors. The expected results of this first phase, and for which the initially approved methodology was adjusted, are also not included in the investigation report that Incopesca presented to its Board of Directors, despite the fact that said report intended to report the execution of that preparation period. sampling.

Other Media | Fishfarmingexpert: Camanchaca reins in coho production as fish stay in the freezer

CHILE
Thursday, November 16, 2023

Chilean fish farmer Salmones Camanchaca is cutting back on production of coho salmon next year due to a drop in price and demand and a currency devaluation in Japan, which buys around two thirds of Chilean coho.

Camancha has been increasing its output of coho due to the biological advantages of the species compared to Atlantic salmon. Coho is naturally resistant to sea lice and reaches harvest size before the worst time for harmful algal blooms (HABs).

Other Media | SeafoodSource: Lerøy’s lower whitefish quotas and farming challenges take toll in Q3 2023

NORWAY
Thursday, November 16, 2023

Disease challenges in its farming segment and lower quotas for its wild-catch operations had a negative impact on Lerøy Seafood Group’s earnings in the third quarter of this year.

Lerøy Seafood CEO Henning Beltestad confirmed that at the end of Q3 and beginning of Q4, the company has faced infectious salmon anemia (ISA) disease issues at some grow-out sites. These have resulted in lower production levels than expected and will affect the expected harvest volumes in 2023 and 2024. At the same time, this year’s fishing quotas have been lower than in 2022, and will be lower still in 2024, he said.
