IN BRIEF - Argentine Shrimp: Predominance of L3 and high percentage of accompanying fauna

ARGENTINA
Tuesday, October 29, 2024

No surprises, on Day 1 of the shrimp prospecting in Chubut waters, in the Southern Zone, between parallels 44°00′ LS and 44°56′ LS.
 
As expected in that sector there is a predominance of small shrimp, with a greater presence of L3 size units, and a high percentage of by catch of hubbsi hake, according to several sources reported to PARTE DE PESCA.
 
Today will be the second effective day of fishing in that sector that includes, for geographical reference, from Punta Tombo to Cabo Dos Bahías, approximately. On the first day the fleet operated at the height of Camarones; always within the Restricted Fishing Effort Zone.
 
We are still in October, so it is foreseeable that there will be small shrimp in the south, based on the experience of the fishery in provincial waters, and we must wait another month for the units to grow in order to enable commercial fishing. The positive data is that there are concentrations of shrimp in the growth stage.

PERU
Tuesday, October 29, 2024

The Ministry of Production (Produce) of Peru has taken an important step towards promoting aquaculture in the country with the approval of Ministerial Resolution No. 414-2024-Produce, through which it expands the scope of the Management Plan for tilapia farming in artificial environments, which previously only covered six departments of the Amazon. With this modification, Ayacucho, Apurímac, Huancavelica and Cusco are incorporated

The fact that tilapia farming does not depend on the seasons of the year, is a highly productive species and has great resistance to diseases and adverse conditions, makes its cultivation a key activity for aquaculturists, highlights the Ministry of Production.

NORWAY
Tuesday, October 29, 2024

Norwegian salmon farmer Måsøval has issued a trading update for Q3 2024, revealing a preliminary operational EBIT loss of NOK 62 million ($5.6 million) and an adjustment to its annual harvest guidance.

Indonesia, another major player, is set to experience robust growth over the next few years, with production projected to reach 1.6 million tons by 2025. Respondents to Rabobank's survey also anticipate growth in Bangladesh and Thailand through 2024, while Egypt, Africa's top producer, is rebounding from pandemic-related challenges.

These trends reflect a strong recovery and growth trajectory in the global tilapia sector, driven by expanding production in key regions.
