Hybrid flow-through systems (HFS) have the potential to transform the aquaculture industry says new report.
Hybrid flow-through systems (HFS) could revolutionize aquaculture by offering a sustainable, biosecure alternative to traditional net-pen farming and Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), according to a report published by RaboResearch on Wednesday.
However, widespread adoption will require significant financial investment and regulatory support, the report notes.

The salmon farming company began its path towards energy transition by successfully completing the certification process for its Energy Management System this year, under the ISO 50.001-2018 standard, becoming the first salmon producing company in Chile to obtain it. Mowi continues to work constantly to obtain it again.
One of the projects it has implemented on this path is the installation of markers that allow detailed measurement of energy use in the company's different processes or equipment, focusing on the places and equipment that use the greatest amount of energy. The marking covers the company's 3 main areas (sea water, fresh water and processing plants) and the selection of the sites is made according to their relevance to the system.
A World Bank study on the value chains of pacu, rainbow trout and mussels shows that these species could become pillars of a new blue economy, generating employment, healthy food and foreign exchange. That said, and although Argentine aquaculture is growing and produced a record of more than 6,000 tons of food in 2022, “it is still far from other countries with similar natural conditions,” says the World Bank.
With the support of PROBLUE, a fund managed by the World Bank for the sustainable development of marine resources, the study it has carried out for Argentina allows the identification of strategies so that the country can make the most of its potential.

UK’s best new chippies named as finalists for Newcomer of the Year award. They’ve been on the fish and chip scene for less than two years, but three outstanding chippies in Devon, Yorkshire and Northern Ireland are off to a ‘frying’ start in their business journey having made it to the National Fish & Chip Awards 2025 final in the Newcomer of the Year category.
The chip shop contenders have excelled during numerous judging stages where they were grilled on all aspects of the industry including product knowledge, environmental and sustainability best practice, teamwork and more.
A recently launched partnership in Taiwan has set up a fishery improvement project (FIP) for the nation's tuna fishery, aiming to achieve certification to the Marine Stewardship Council standard.
Ocean Outcomes (O2), a U.S.-based nonprofit, partnered with the Taiwan Tuna Longline Association (TTLA), the largest fishing vessel member association in Taiwan, in April 2024 to improve fishing practices among Taiwanese longline tuna vessels. Now, that partnership has launched its first FIP, applying to 41 TTLA vessels with a combined catch of 3,500 metric tons (MT) of Pacific albacore, bigeye, and yellowfin tuna.

Fresh Landings See Growth for Third Straight Month in September
The Japan Fisheries Federation reported that total landings of Japanese flying squid, including both fresh and frozen varieties, rose by 22% in September compared to the same period last year, reaching 5,521 tons.
This growth was driven largely by fresh squid landings, marking the third consecutive month of year-on-year increases. Cumulatively, the total landings since January have exceeded those recorded during the same period in the previous year.
Technicians must give conclusions to those affected before anyone else
Although Spanish regulations already include the obligation to investigate maritime accidents and incidents involving fishing vessels of less than 15 metres, this was not the case in all Member States. Some left vessels below this length outside the scope of the bodies in charge of analysing accidents. An incomprehensible gap that was corrected last Monday after the Ministers of Agriculture and Fisheries adopted the four directives that make up the so-called maritime safety package, designed to achieve a safer, cleaner and more modern sector in the EU.

Through September 2024, global fishmeal production increased by nearly 23% compared to the same period in 2023. This rise is primarily due to a substantial uptick in Peru’s supply, which accounts for 20% of global fishmeal and fish oil production.
The impact of climate change on fisheries and the continuing challenge of on-board safety are two of the issues that FAO is focusing on on World Fisheries Day. In an interview released by the organization, the Assistant Director-General and Director of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Division of FAO, Manuel Barange, also highlighted that both problems are closely linked.
“Climate change will have a significant impact on safety at sea, making maritime operations more dangerous and making small-scale fishers especially vulnerable to accidents”

The average spot price of Norwegian salmon rose by NOK 2.94 per kilo last week (week 46) to NOK 73.00 (£5.23) per kilo – the highest average weekly price in 13 weeks.
The price is still below the same week last year by NOK 2.74/kg, and you also have to go back to August to find a smaller difference. If you want to find a week when this year's price was above the same week a year before, then you have to go back to May.
