Other Media | iPac.aquacultura: Salmon remains the main driver of profitability for Irish aquaculture

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
Thursday, June 26, 2025

In 2024, oyster and mussel rope producers faced various challenges, such as a shortage of seed.
 
"Aquaculture remains a fundamental pillar of Ireland's fishing economy, with the potential to generate employment and income in many bays and their hinterlands." This is reflected in The Business of Seafood 2024, the latest report published by the Irish Seafood Development Agency (BIM) on the country's aquaculture, fishing, and processing industries.
 
This report highlights that, unlike the fishing and processing industries, which had to weather a difficult year marked by external pressures and long-term structural changes, aquaculture, overall, posted very good results, with a 25% increase in value (to €211 million)

Other Media | BBC: Pollution from treatment works killed fish

UNITED KINGDOM
Thursday, June 26, 2025

A water company has confirmed one of its treatment works was the source of pollution that killed thousands of fish in a Cornish river.

Pennon Group, which owns South West Water, said the pollution in St Austell River "occurred as a result of a delivery by a third party to our treatment works" in the Pentewan Valley.

The Environment Agency said potentially thousands of fish including trout, eels and lamprey were killed by liquid lime in the river, which is also known as the White River

The agency said on Tuesday its officers had taken samples of dead fish from the scene.

VIGO – The Regional Ministry of Sea (Consellería do Mar) of the Xunta de Galicia, during a meeting with ANFACO-CECOPESCA, has introduced a new regulation for artisanal fish and seafood preserves from Galicia.

EUROPEAN UNION
Wednesday, June 25, 2025

Twelve countries urge the Commission to ban misleading labels
 
Current Salmon, Tofu-Thuna, Tuna, Salmon Bio, Kraken, Toonish... These are some of the names of products "that show misleading similarities" with seafood, although they are actually processed from soy, wheat gluten, mushrooms, rice, or legumes, with additives such as salt, fats, flavorings, and colorings "that, in general, do not match the characteristics of authentic" fish and shellfish, according to a report commissioned by the European Parliament. The seafood industry chain has long been calling for measures against these imitations, masked by "misleading names and images that can confuse" consumers, recalls the fishing industry association Europêche.
