Creates the "orange box," a long-range radio system to gather information on the sustainability of its vessels and prepare for regulatory changes

The connected environment and Industry 4.0 reach almost all productive sectors in the Galician community, with varying degrees of difficulty. Extractive fishing, key to the region, is no exception, and many organizations are working to use sensors on their vessels, new systems that allow for energy reuse, improve fishing, or simply collect information on the activity. The Asociación de Armadores de Cerco de Galicia (Acerga) is working intensively in this last area through its production plans.

Other Media | Fish Focus: 40 of the best takeaways to have fish and chips on Good Fry-day.

UNITED KINGDOM
Wednesday, April 16, 2025

40 of the best takeaways to have fish and chips on Good Fry-day. A chippy tea at the end of the week is a tradition for many of us and one that is also synonymous with Good Friday. Millions of us will happily queue at our local fish and chip shop, mouths watering ready to indulge in this classic British dish. Yet, why has this become such an institution within our culture?

Did you know that eating fish on Good Friday harks back to the Roman Catholic custom of not eating warm-blooded animals on Fridays and to also acknowledge the death of Jesus?

FALKLAND ISLANDS
Wednesday, April 16, 2025

Joint venture company hoping for government go-ahead after public consultation

The Falkland Islands could become the newest frontier in salmon farming if a proposal currently before the Falkland Islands Government (FIG) is approved.

Geographically, the archipelago in the South Atlantic bears similarities to well established salmon farming regions, such as the Faroes, Shetland, and Orkney, with sheltered bays and Norwegian style fjords, and consistently cool sea water temperatures.

IN BRIEF - Trout and Oysters Shine at the SIA, Winning Prestigious Medals

FRANCE
Tuesday, April 15, 2025

Marée Côte d'Opale's Smoked Trout Takes Bronze; Aquaculture Products Garner 95 Medals, Including 89 for Oysters.

The quality of French aquaculture was celebrated at the Concours général agricole (SIA), where trout and oysters earned significant recognition. Marée Côte d'Opale, part of the Océalliance group, was awarded the bronze medal for its 4-slice smoked trout (pictured) marketed under the Les Saveurs du Large brand.

In the same smoked trout category, Les Viviers de Vatierville (Seine-Maritime) secured the gold medal, while La Fumerie du Coin (Jouy-en-Josas) took silver. Les Fils de Charles Murgat also received recognition for its trout eggs. Further highlighting the diversity of trout products, the Bellet fish farm (Ruelle-sur-Touvre, Charente) and Écailles et Compagnie (Thoiry) were honored for their trout rillettes.

This year's competition saw a remarkable achievement for the aquaculture sector, with a total of 95 medals (gold, silver, or bronze) awarded. Notably, oysters dominated, claiming an impressive 89 of these distinctions.

Among the oyster winners, Mediterranean flat oysters stood out, earning two gold medals. These oysters originated from 300,000 larvae transferred in 2023 from the Corsican research platform Stella Mare to oyster farmers in the Thau lagoon, demonstrating the success of collaborative efforts in aquaculture.

IN BRIEF - Divergent Tilapia Price Trends Across Brazilian Regions

BRAZIL
Tuesday, April 15, 2025

Cepea survey reveals price increases in key areas like the Great Lakes, contrasting with declines in Paraná amidst fluctuating supply and Lent-driven demand.

Tilapia prices (live or iced) exhibited varied trends across the regions monitored by the Centro de Estudos Avançados em Economia Aplicada (Cepea) in March, according to their recent survey. While some areas saw increases, others experienced declines.

In the Great Lakes region (northwest of São Paulo state and bordering Mato Grosso do Sul), the average tilapia price in March was R$7.79/kg (approximately USD 1.52/kg), marking a 3.5% increase compared to February. This rise suggests stronger demand or tighter supply in this specific area.

Conversely, the West of Paraná saw a price decrease of 2.7%, settling at an average of R$7.46/kg (approximately USD 1.45/kg). Similarly, in the North of Paraná, the average price fell by 2.4% to R$8.61/kg (approximately USD 1.68/kg) when compared to February.

Many collaborators consulted by Cepea indicated a rise in demand in recent weeks, primarily attributed to the Lent period. However, producers in the state of Paraná reported that the supply of fish remained high, potentially explaining the price decreases observed in those regions.


IN BRIEF - Genetic Divide in Icelandic Shrimp Revealed: Inshore vs. Offshore Populations

ICELAND
Tuesday, April 15, 2025

New research uncovers distinct genetic stratification between shallow-water and northern shrimp, with temperature linked to diversity in offshore populations.

A recently published article details the genetic stratification observed between inshore shrimp (common in shallower waters) and offshore shrimp (northern shrimp, Pandalus borealis) populations in northern Iceland. The study analyzed reduced representative genome sequence data from shrimp samples collected across three key areas: Arnarfjörður bay in the Northwest, Skjálfandi bay in the North, and extending offshore to Kolbeinsey island, located approximately 100 kilometers off Iceland's northern coast. [Click here to read the article]

The research revealed minimal genetic differentiation within the inshore shrimp populations. However, a clear genetic gradient was identified when comparing inshore and offshore shrimp. Notably, the study also indicated a significant aggregation of inshore shrimp outside of Skjálfandi bay.

Previous research has shown limited genetic diversity in northern shrimp despite their extensive boreal distribution. In contrast, this new study uncovered a strong correlation between bottom sea temperature and the identified genetic variation across the offshore samples collected from Skjálfandi bay to Kolbeinsey island.
