Other Media | BBC: Why UK is getting stricter with seafloor fishing

UNITED KINGDOM
Tuesday, June 10, 2025

The UK government has says it want to widen a ban on a kind of fishing called 'ocean bottom trawling' in protected areas.

Bottom trawling is a type of fishing that involves dragging large weighted nets along the seafloor to catch fish.

But it also damages the ocean floor, and can hurt other marine life living there.

It's already banned in some parts of the UK but ministers say the plan is to make the rules stronger, and safeguard more seafloor in the UK's protected areas.

UNITED STATES
Tuesday, June 10, 2025

Aldi is dropping prices on more than 400 products across its more than 2,400-plus stores in the U.S., even as other retailers warn that tariffs could lead to price hikes this summer.

Aldi is slashing prices on around 25 percent of its products for the summer, from fresh meat for grilling to organic produce, pantry staples and “summer favorites,” the company said. The price cuts include its Atlantic salmon portions, which are now USD 8.69 (EUR 7.62) a pound.

The massive discount grocery chain claims its lowered prices will save customers USD 100 million (EUR 88 million) this summer on top of the USD 8.3 billion (EUR 7.3 billion) it says shoppers at its stores reportedly save annually.

EUROPEAN UNION
Tuesday, June 10, 2025

In recent years, plant-based food substitutes (known as "plant-based") have become a growing market, and aquatic products are no exception. Moreover, according to a study commissioned by the European Parliament's Fisheries Committee and Research4PECH, plant-based products designed to imitate the appearance, flavor, or nutritional properties of fishery and aquaculture products have been gaining popularity, and they have done so "supported by arguments such as environmental sustainability, health benefits, and ethical advantages over animal-based foods."
 
With this boom in the market for plant-based substitutes, the fishery and aquaculture sector faces growing and worrying competition with numerous challenges

Other Media | Faro de Vigo: The Argentine Government Forces Another Conciliation Due to the Fishing Crisis

ARGENTINA
Tuesday, June 10, 2025

The Galician-owned fishing industry is risking 450 million euros in the chaos of the Argentine strike, and there is no sign of success, considering that the lost shrimp harvest was compounded just a few days ago by the strike across all fleets, which jeopardizes nearly 75 vessels linked to Galicia and companies such as Pescanova, Iberconsa, Profand, Wofco, Vieirasa, and Gandón. With the tensions between unions and employers unresolved and the damage this represents to the national economy, Javier Milei's government has had no choice but to order a second compulsory conciliation in the sector's conflict—for the fresh fish sector—setting a hearing for today.
