Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: Trump's tariffs will impact octopus, bluefin tuna, and seafood from Spain

SPAIN
Friday, April 11, 2025

The employers' association suggests a series of fiscal and support measures and sees Brazil as a possible way to mitigate the damage, provided that tariffs are lowered.

Given the US president's game with tariffs, the Spanish fishing association, Cepesca, has raised the need to adopt urgent measures to counteract the impact of these tariffs on trade. The suggestions were presented by the organization's secretary general, Javier Garat, in a meeting he held on Tuesday with the People's Party (PP), when the fishing industry and the world were convinced that the 20% tariffs would go into effect this Thursday.

Other Media | Fish Farmer: Algae threat moving closer to Norway

NORWAY
Friday, April 11, 2025

An algal bloom reported off the north coast of Denmark last week may be heading for the southern Norwegian coast, the authorities have warned.

This potentially damaging development for fish farmers is not yet a direct threat, but the danger is getting closer.

HUI, the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research, said the concentration of the algae Pseudochattonella in the south is still so low that it does not yet pose a threat to fish. The weather over the next few days should determine how the situation will develop.
