An appeal to collect fishing gear at the end of its useable life saw more than one tonne of equipment dropped off at a dock.

EUROPEAN UNION
Wednesday, July 02, 2025

Affordability and shifting trade dynamics are reshaping global seafood markets in 2025, as inflation and tariffs pressure consumer choices and supply chains, according to a report from aquaculture lender and market analyst Rabobank.

In the United States, high import tariffs may exacerbate inflation-driven affordability concerns, prompting consumers to opt for cheaper protein alternatives in price-sensitive retail segments.

Meanwhile, China’s seafood demand is expected to see modest improvement in 2025, supported by stimulus packages.However, persistent consumer price sensitivity may limit growth and lead to downtrading within the protein category.

RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Tuesday, July 01, 2025

This is the project's third year serving as a large-scale platform for showcasing the gastronomic transformation potential of wild white fish

VLADIVOSTOK – The third annual "O!Mega Taste Pollock Festival," held from May 19 to June 11, concluded with record success, showcasing the versatility and popularity of wild white fish. Organized by the Russian Fishery Company (RFC), Visit Primorye, and "Gastronomic Map of Russia," the event saw 40 restaurants create over 30,000 pollock dishes.

The festival attracted over 200,000 residents and visitors in Primorsky Krai and Moscow. Remarkably, 200 metric tons of pollock products were sold in retail chains, highlighting strong consumer demand. The RFC supplied 12 metric tons of deep-processed pollock for the culinary creations, reinforcing the festival's mission to reintroduce this nutritious wild fish into Russian consumption culture. The event, supported by the Primorsky Krai Government, demonstrated pollock's potential for both gastronomic transformation and widespread appeal.


Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: Anfaco Changes Its Surname

SPAIN
Tuesday, July 01, 2025

Before becoming the National Association of Canned Food Manufacturers, Anfaco was simply the Union of Manufacturers. An alliance that was established in 1904 "to promote industrial development linked to the sea." And that remains its objective, but its activities are not, by any means, what they were then. Not even what they were doing when the name was changed to Anfaco. With the subsequent addition of the surname Cecopesca (Fishing Technology Center), the association wanted to make its technical and research nature clear. And now that it has transcended canning to encompass other branches of the maritime-industry chain and has developed significant scientific and laboratory activity, to the point of being "one of the main technological centers in Europe specializing in the bioeconomy of the sea," the organization has decided to change its name and its surname: Anfaco-Cytma.

Other Media | iPac.aquacultura: CIM and EMBL team up to study how to curb red tides and anticipate the effects of heat waves

SPAIN
Monday, June 30, 2025

Understand how the ocean will respond to two increasingly frequent and worrying phenomena: toxic microalgae blooms that give rise to phenomena known as red tides and heat waves. This is the objective of the Cellbloom project, promoted by the Biological Oceanography group of the Marine Research Center (CIM) at the University of Vigo and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), headquartered in Germany. This initiative, in turn, is part of the Horizon Europe Imagine project, which promotes the development of cutting-edge imaging technologies in microscopy that bridge the gap between molecular biology and functional biology, as well as by the EMBL, within the framework of its cross-cutting theme of Planetary Biology.
