Other Media | BBC: Chile's salmon farms hope for calmer waters

CHILE
Thursday, May 29, 2025

Chile is the world's second-largest exporter of farmed salmon, and the biggest supplier to the US. In the south of the country a dispute continues over the large number of salmon farms that are located in supposedly protected areas.

The port city of Puerto Montt, more than 1,000km (600 miles) south of Chile's capital Santiago, is at the heart of the country's farmed Atlantic salmon industry.

At a processing facility on the outskirts of town workers kitted out in white suits, hairnets, facemasks, and blue plastic gloves and boots prepare fresh and smoked salmon for export to the US and Japan.

CHINA
Wednesday, May 28, 2025

SHANGHAI – China and Japan held a vital Fisheries Cooperation Dialogue in Shanghai on May 26, bringing together officials from both nations to enhance collaborative efforts in sustainable fisheries management. The meeting, co-chaired by representatives from China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, focused on critical issues concerning East China Sea resources.

The two sides exchanged updates on their respective fisheries development and management strategies.

Japan, in turn, detailed revisions to its fishery resource assessment and management system and shared results from its assessment of East China Sea surface fish, including mackerel.

Discussions also covered other shared concerns, notably the strengthened conservation and management of eel resources. During the dialogue, delegates visited the East China Sea Fisheries Research Institute and the Shanghai Aquatic Wildlife Conservation Center, gaining insights into resource surveys and efforts to conserve species like the Chinese sturgeon.

Both nations affirmed their strong foundation and broad potential for fisheries cooperation.
