Researchers have discovered that the type of vitamin D found in oily fish such as salmon helps boost the human immune system against bacteria and viruses.
A study said vitamin D3 from animal-based foods is more effective at boosting vitamin D levels in the blood than D2, which is found in plant foods like mushrooms and added to some brands of bread, cereal and yogurts.

The snow crab fishery in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador initially expected a banner year for fishing and prices, but a sudden change in the market has left fishermen and processing companies alike reeling.
The fishery got off to a rocky start in April, when the Fish Food and Allied Workers (FFAW) Union, which represents fishermen in Newfoundland and Labrador and the Association of Seafood Producers (ASP) – a nonprofit group representing seafood producers in the same area – clashed over what the fishermen would be paid for their catch.

Iceland has set up an investigation following two recent Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA) outbreaks in the east of the country.
Until recently, the country has been fairly free of this damaging and potentially costly virus and other aquaculture related diseases. In the last few weeks, however, Ice Fish Farm has been hit on at least two occasions, affecting up to two million fish. The company said the outbreaks will dent harvests over the next 12 months.
Now Iceland’s Fisheries Minister Svandís Svavarsdóttir has appointed a working group to look into infection controls on the island and recommend any changes, if necessary.
Mowi has won a special recognition award at Compassion in World Farming’s Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards, which took place in London today.
The awards aim to showcase the work of food businesses around the world that make genuine and meaningful improvements to the lives of farmed animals, and the sustainability of their supply chains.
According to Compassion, improvements in fish welfare are lagging behind those for terrestrial animals, largely because fish sentience is generally less recognised.

The Government of France has celebrated the agreement reached in the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the IMO, to designate the entire Mediterranean as a Sulfur Oxide Emission Control Zone (SOx-ECA), which means that ships will have to comply with stricter controls on sulfur oxide emissions. In reduction zones, the sulfur limit in fuel oil used on board ships must be 0.10% mass by mass (m/m), while outside these zones the limit is 0.50% m /m. The amendment could take effect in mid-2024, with the new limit taking effect from 2025.

OTAQ, a company that specialises in marine tech and solutions group for the global aquaculture, offshore energy and the sport and leisure industries, has announced a new multi-year distribution agreement with Sensor Globe, a Canadian aquaculture technology innovator. This follows completion of a successful development period leading to OTAQs first Sensor Globe customer in Chile.
OTAQ will distribute Sensor Globe’s data collection solution, used to monitor water quality and fish welfare, primarily targeting both the Scottish and Chilean markets, two of the world’s largest producers of farmed salmon.
Salmon has many things working to its benefit as a protein option such that it would take more than high prices for consumers to start walking away from it, an industry analyst suggests.
Recent record-high salmon prices may have prompted discussions about a “consumer breaking point” – the price level at which consumers start walking away from salmon – but senior industry analyst Gorjan Nikolik at Rabobank International said these discussions might overlook some key points.

Since writing my contribution last month, I have been travelling, including a short visit to the Aquaculture UK event in Aviemore. There was a real buzz about the place, not just because of the ability to meet friends old and new but because the new organisers had much improved the visitor experience.
I have heard rumours that the event might develop in future years into some form of Scottish Aquaculture Festival rather than the current focus on the trade show. Perhaps this might attract an even wider audience?
