The total harvest in farming centres in Los Lagos region in July reached 45,258 tonnes. This figure represents an increase of 28.1 per cent year-on-year, driven by higher fish and seaweed harvests.

Meanwhile, landings of the artisanal fishing fleet totalled 10,052 tonnes, 11.8 per cent more than in July 2016, according to data published by the National Institute of Statistics (INE).

Regarding aquaculture production, molluscs were the ones that had the largest participation in total harvests, accounting for 57.1 per cent in terms of mass. However, harvests fell by 6.4 per cent compared to July last year.

The fish occupied the second place, with a participation of 42.0 per cent, which was equivalent to 18,989 tonnes. According to the INE, the fish harvest recorded a year-on-year increase of 153.3 per cent, equivalent to 11,491 tonnes, explained by an increase in the Atlantic salmon and silver or coho salmon.

The mussel was the species with greater participation in the harvests in the farming centers: it represented 56.8 per cent, equivalent to 25.693 tonnes, although it experienced a fall of 6.4 per cent year-on-year.

Atlantic salmon followed, with a participation of 36.2 per cent, equivalent to 16,395 tonnes, representing a year-on-year growth of 227.6 per cent. This increase is explained in part by a low base of comparison in July 2016, when a toxic algae bloom had a strong negative impact on Los Lagos region.

Silver or coho salmon accounted for 4.2 per cent of the total harvested in this period, with 1,922 tonnes and a year-on-year increase of 1,392.6 per cent.
Rainbow trout accounted for 1.5 per cent of the region's harvests, with 672 tonnes harvested and a negative variation of 71.6 per cent.

INE also published a report on the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic Region, with data on aquaculture harvests and fishing landings updated up to August.

In this report, it is stated that the total fishing landings, including landings of artisanal and industrial fleets and aquaculture harvests, decreased by 14.0 per cent year-on-year to 12,268 tonnes. This drop is mainly due to lower landings in the industrial sector and an 8 per cent fall in aquaculture production.

According to the report, the harvest of the farming centres accounted for 47.0 per cent of the landings in the region, with 5,771 tonnes. This harvest is lower by 500.47 tonnes (8 per cent) than in August 2016 because of the decline in the Atlantic salmon harvest.
