IN BRIEF - Empowering Egyptian farmers for growth and success

EGYPT
Wednesday, May 14, 2025

In 2020, Mohamed Mansour, a tilapia farmer from Sharqia Governorate, was facing challenges on his 40-acre farm. He was experiencing a too-high feed conversion ratio, and could only get a single production round per year.

With the help of Skretting Egypt’s Sales Manager Hassan Ali, Mr. Mansour decided to switch over to using Skretting Egypt’s tilapia fish feed. This product is known fondly as the 'mango sack', as its vibrant orange colour is similar to the flesh of the local Egyptian mangoes. Soon, his FCR improved by 40% to 1.2.

Under the guidance of Hassan Ali and the Skretting Egypt team, Mr Mansour gradually expanded his farm. By 2024, his farm had reached up to 200 acres, achieving two production rounds annually. His farm was able to achieve maximum efficiency in production, which also enhanced his way of life.

Other Media | Fish Focus: Temperature swings cause jellyfish blooms and less Polar cod.

RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Wednesday, May 14, 2025

How life in different parts of the Barents Sea reacts to climate change.

Since 2005, many species of zooplankton, fish, and benthic animals have increased significantly in number in the northwest Barents Sea. In the southeast Barents Sea, most fish species have decreased in number, while jellyfish—especially lion’s mane jellyfish—and snow crab have increased considerably. Juveniles of commercially important fish species have spread over larger areas of the Barents Sea: cod and haddock during a particularly warm period, and capelin when the sea cooled down again.

CHILE
Wednesday, May 14, 2025

Chilean fishing and salmon-farming firm Blumar has decided to halt a USD 30 million (EUR 26.8 million) investment in a frozen food plant in the central Chilean city of Coronel as it waits to see how national legislation regarding industrial fishing quotas plays out.

The plant project – which had already had received required permitting – “was scheduled to be passed by [Blumar’s] board of directors and approved during 2025 to begin construction toward the end of this year, but it was postponed

Other Media | Fish Farmer: Mowi Scotland’s resurgence continues into 2025

UNITED KINGDOM
Wednesday, May 14, 2025

Mowi Scotland has continued the positive trend that started last year into the start of 2025, the first quarter figures show today.

The improvements were offset, however, by lower market prices which has affected profits.

The division produced a harvest of 17,656 tonnes against 14,205 tonnes a year ago.

The operational EBIT was almost unchanged at €31.5 million (£26.4m) against €31.1m (£26.1m) in Q1 2024.

IN BRIEF - Antonio Solimeno: 'We must keep in mind that change is coming'

ARGENTINA
Tuesday, May 13, 2025

Speaking from the latest edition of the Seafood Expo Global in Barcelona, Argentine fishing industry leader Antonio “Tony” Solimeno shared his perspective on the structural challenges facing the sector in an interview with Revista Puerto journalist Karina Fernández.

Solimeno outlined three key pressure points: rising domestic costs, falling international market prices, and increasingly burdensome global tariffs. “Hake is in a tough spot, shrimp prices have been falling for three years, and only squid remains stable. Those with integrated operations are managing a little better,” he said.

He also criticized the limitations of the Mercosur trade bloc, citing sanitary and bureaucratic issues at borders, and how it hinders bilateral trade deals. “We don’t have agreements with anyone. Wherever we go, we pay tariffs,” he emphasized.

Looking ahead, Solimeno pointed to a clear global trend: more processed seafood products, smaller packaging, and ready-to-eat formats. “The market no longer wants 21-kilo interleaved blocks. They want one-kilo bags and ready meals. The consumer has changed—and we’ll need to change too.”

With consumption habits evolving rapidly, he closed with a clear warning: “We’ll need to think carefully and always keep in mind that change is coming.”


Other Media | iPac.acuicultura: Nine out of ten Norwegian land-based aquaculture facilities do not comply with emissions standards

NORWAY
Tuesday, May 13, 2025

Nine out of ten land-based aquaculture facilities inspected by Norwegian emissions control authorities last year did not comply with regulations, and several had serious violations, according to the Norwegian Environment Agency, Miljødirektoratet. The agency's director, Hilde Singsaas, acknowledges that "land-based fish farming facilities are becoming more numerous and larger. They cause physical interference with nature and emit large amounts of emissions into the sea. Inspections show that many companies do not have sufficient control over emissions.

Other Media | BBC: Fishing shouldn't block defence pact, says EU chief

EUROPEAN UNION
Tuesday, May 13, 2025

Negotiations with the UK over future fishing quotas should not hold up a security deal, the European Union's foreign policy chief has suggested.

Kaja Kallas told BBC Newsnight "a few elements" of a deal were still to be agreed but "I think we are over the fish".

It comes as the UK and EU prepare to hold a summit in London next week at which they hope to announce a security and defence pact.

There have been reports that some EU countries, particularly France, want to link future access to British waters for fishing with wider negotiations.
