Puerto Montt, Chile-based salmon-farming firm Ventisqueros plans to increase efforts to decarbonize its operations, Ventisqueros Chief Commercial Officer Javier Calvo told SeafoodSource.
Calvo called 2024 “an especially significant year for Ventisqueros” in that it developed a fish-farming center that operates 100 percent on certified renewable energy.

New study assesses global escape policies in salmon farming.
A new global review of policies regulating farmed salmon escapes has found wide variation in regulatory approaches, with many regions still lacking effective measures to mitigate ecological risks.
The study, published in Marine Policy, reviewed frameworks in 14 leading salmon-producing regions, including Ireland, Norway, Chile, and Canada. Drawing on government documents, NGO reports and industry media, the authors examined how each region regulates escape prevention, reporting, monitoring, recapture, and penalties.
While all jurisdictions had specific measures in place, the authors found that most focus on reducing the frequency of escapes—through requirements for net maintenance or contingency planning—rather than limiting environmental damage once escapes occur.

OSAKA – The participation of the Los Lagos Region in Expo Osaka 2025's Sea Week (June 2-6) has been positively assessed by Chilean industry associations, solidifying the quality and sustainability image of their seafood products in the demanding Japanese market.
Chile's pavilion, "Makün: The Mantle of Chile," highlighted the collaborative work of associations such as the Salmon Council, SalmonChile, AmiChile, and the Sea Urchin Association. Ricardo Arriagada, regional director of ProChile Los Lagos, noted that this international visibility "reaffirms that our products stand out for their quality, territorial identity, and sustainable approach," generating valuable synergies.
Chilean sea urchin was a key protagonist, with 88% of its 2024 exports to Japan (US$53 million). Its promotion included a special dish at the Kura Sushi conveyor belt sushi chain. Guillermo Roa, from the Sea Urchin Association, emphasized Japan's appreciation for "quality, safety, and traceability."
Chilean salmon, especially coho salmon, strengthened its position with tastings and seminars. The Salmon Council highlighted Chile's capacity to provide this "sustainable protein" to growing global demand. Melanie Watmore, Chile Salmon Brand director, hopes to "continue positioning Chile as a reliable producer of seafood."
The Los Lagos Region leads national salmon and mussel exports. Japan was the second most important destination for Chilean seafood products in 2024
