Last week, this newspaper reported about two studies that have warned that fish populations along Maharashtra’s coast could collapse because of overfishing and killing of juvenile fish.

The Board of Directors of Mowi awarded 1.175 million options under its senior executive share option scheme with effect from 2015 to the current participants in the option scheme. The option scheme forms an important part of Mowi's long-term remuneration policy for such senior executives. The number of options shall be reduced if the profit through exercise of options in a year exceeds two times the fixed annual salary of the option holder. Accordingly, the number of options has been reduced to 485,743 options to comply with this provision.
On 17 June 2019, participants in Mowi's senior executive share option scheme exercised 485,743 options in Mowi, corresponding to 485,743 shares at a strike price of NOK 77.52 per share.

The shares were purchased in accordance with the authorisation granted at the annual general meeting on 29 May 2019. Following these transactions Mowi still holds zero treasury shares.
The Government is taking action to expand and strengthen the protection for Maui and Hector’s dolphins with an updated plan to deal with threats to these native marine mammals.
Minister of Conservation Eugenie Sage and Minister of Fisheries Stuart Nash released on 17th June proposals for consultation for a revised Threat Management Plan to protect the Hector’s and MÄui dolphins.
"These precious dolphins are New Zealand taonga. We need to act now to ensure their populations increase and both species thrive," says Eugenie Sage.
This is a complex document and we need time to consider its implications.
The industry is concerned about dolphin protection and has worked hard to minimise risk, with demonstrable success.
We are also concerned about the wellbeing of our members. Hundreds of families could be affected by these proposals. There are also implications for those who value continued supplies of fresh seafood.
We hope there is proper consultation and this is not just a whitewash.
There has been close engagement to date and the industry will continue to work constructively.
The Government also needs to be mindful of its obligations under the Deed of Settlement, which recognised the fishing rights embodied in the Treaty of Waitangi.
