IN BRIEF - The largest male beluga stud of the Caspian branch of 'Glavrybvod' participates in the spawning campaign

RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Tuesday, March 26, 2024

According to the results of the analysis of the branch’s data, a record number of sturgeon species will take part in the current year’s fish farming season.

Compared to the last season, this year the total mass of mature females is 35% greater, which also means that the volume of caviar planned to be produced at sturgeon hatcheries in the branch’s area of ??operation will be a record one.

In addition to the impressive volume of mature spawners, the 2024 hatchery season will feature a male beluga weighing over 205 kg, which was once harvested from the wild and domesticated. This individual has established itself as a producer with high quality reproductive products; this male has participated in reproduction more than 10 times.

Fish farmers say: “We are always happy to have such fish participate in the spawning campaign. Yes, it's hard! It is really huge, about 3 meters in length and continues to grow. More than 6 people will be involved in receiving sexual products from him - we must keep it! The tail is powerful! Beluga is a smart fish and a predator after all. However, the character is serious.”

The sex ratio for fertilization of beluga eggs is 1:2. However, this male can provide reproductive products for eggs from several females. Working with such individuals is difficult and dangerous due to their mass, which is why special equipment is used in the process.

IN BRIEF - Uplift of fisheries, aquaculture sectors: Lack of trained manpower described as ‘main hurdle’

PAKISTAN
Tuesday, March 26, 2024

PESHAWAR: Due to lack of trained human resource and political will, the potential fisheries and aquaculture sub sectors of agriculture could not be fully taped as yet.

The potential for development of fisheries in Gilgit Baltistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir along with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is immense. Recent development between the government of China and the government of Pakistan has provided an opportunity for provision of support to public and private sector to align the sub sector of agriculture and trout aquaculture through adopting a robust policy and development strategy with implementation plan based on 5 Es frame work presented by Ministry of Planning and Development Government of Pakistan for creation of corridor for creation of new jobs with inclusive regional development.

Aquaculture production can contribute to GDP to increase from 1% to 1.5 % and foreign exchange of approximately to the tune of one billion US$ within a period 3-5 years.

Trout fish aquaculture can be developed on cluster mechanism as the resources are located in different localities of each district and for its development proper planning is required to be protected from flood damage and other environmental hazards.

The private sector has to be mobilized to do investment in different components of the trout fish value chain.The existing trout fish production from substance level to commercial level is the requirement of the day to position them for export of trout fish.[...]

VIRGIN ISLANDS
Tuesday, March 26, 2024

A recent research project funded by Nomad Foods has identified the potential for a significant cut in carbon emissions across the frozen industry.

A groundbreaking study from frozen seafood giant Birds Eye’s parent company Nomad Foods conducted with science and technology firm Campden BRI, suggests that raising freezer temperatures from -18°C to -15°C could reduce energy consumption by 10% without compromising product quality or safety.

Partnering with experts at Campden BRI, Nomad aimed to determine if frozen food products could be stored at temperatures higher than the industry standard of -18°C.

Other Media | Industrias Pesqueras: NGOs approve of Spain's efforts to reach 30% MPA by 2030, but call for more work to achieve 10% total protection

SPAIN

Spain is, after Denmark, the MS that comes out best in the evaluation carried out by Oceana and Seas at Risk

OTHER MEDIA - The Fishing Daily: Government Urged to Protect Irish Fishing Waters Amidst Negotiations with Iceland

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
Monday, March 25, 2024

IFPO Chief Calls on Government Support – The Pat Kenny Show on NewsTalk

In an interview on NewsTalk this morning, Aodh O’Donnell, CEO of the Irish Fish Producers Organisation (IFPO), sounded the alarm regarding ongoing negotiations between the European Union (EU) and Iceland, which could potentially grant Iceland access to Irish fishing waters. O’Donnell’s call to action comes amidst fears that such a deal could have dire consequences for Ireland’s fishing industry.

The crux of the issue lies in the trade negotiations underway between the EU and Iceland, where fishing access to Irish waters forms a significant part of the discourse. O’Donnell highlighted the precarious situation faced by Irish fishermen, with vessels largely inactive and only able to access a small percentage of their allocated quotas. The prospect of granting Iceland access to fish in Irish waters exacerbates an already bleak scenario for the domestic fishing industry.

When questioned about the rationale behind granting Iceland access to Irish waters, O’Donnell pointed out that while such a deal may disadvantage Ireland, it could benefit other EU member states. He emphasised the need for Ireland to assert its interests in these negotiations, especially considering past instances where flawed deals left Ireland with minimal benefits.[...]
