Other Media | Audlindin: Weather and uncertainty in the markets keep ships in port

ICELAND
Monday, March 23, 2020

Bergs-Hugins fishing trawlers in the Vestmannaeyjar, Bergey VE and Vestmannaey VE, landed last fall. Wednesday. Both ships had a full load of large and beautiful saithe. Vestmannaey got the catch at Selvogsbankinn but Bergey just east of the Islands.

Now both ships are in port and the reason is twofold; on the one hand, bad weather forecasts over the weekend and on the other hand the uncertainty prevailing in the fresh fish markets due to Covid 19. As for the weather, two downturns are expected this weekend and the wave forecast is extremely bad. In terms of market conditions, the demand for fresh fish in traditional markets has collapsed. Stores prefer frozen products and restaurants are most closed.

IN BRIEF - The global bluefin tuna market is experiencing price declines

JAPAN
Wednesday, March 27, 2024

The global bluefin tuna market is experiencing lower prices amid weakening demand in Asia.
 
Wholesale prices for imported bluefin tuna in Japan have fallen significantly in recent months. The wholesale price of imported fresh bluefin tuna at Tokyo's Toyosu market has fallen 23% from its peak in August 2023, reaching US$24.4/kg. Similarly, the wholesale price of imported frozen bluefin tuna fell to US$22.3/kg, representing a decrease of almost US$6.6/kg from the December 2022 peak.
 
Data from the Japan Fisheries Information Center (JAFIC) indicates a decline in consumption of frozen bluefin tuna. This trend is reflected in retail prices: in February, chu-toro sashimi (medium-fat tuna) imported from Malta sold in Tokyo supermarkets for US$5.32 per 100 grams, a significant reduction from 40% compared to December 2022 prices.
 
Consumption of bluefin tuna sashimi has declined in major Asian markets, including Japan, South Korea and China. This is also reflected in the 50% year-on-year drop in the average import price of Maltese bluefin tuna fillets, a major producer in the Mediterranean, to US$13/kg. Some importers attribute the drop in prices to the weakening purchasing power of South Korea, traditionally a competitive buyer of Mediterranean tuna.

NORWAY
Wednesday, March 27, 2024

A row is brewing over plans for a new post-smolt facility in the north of Norway – which will involve blowing up two small islands to make space for the construction.

The company behind the project is Gaia Salmon, which plans to produce between 8,000 and 10,000 tonnes of post-smolts weighing up to 800 grams annually, once the building is operational.

The site is at the Ross Islands at Traena in Nordland, where there are more than 477 very small islands. Gaia Salmon says the area involved covers about  12 to 14 football pitches in area.

Other Media | Industrias Pesqueras: Hungary slows down the approval of Nature Restoration Law

HUNGARY
Wednesday, March 27, 2024

The approval of the EU Nature Restoration Law, one of the most controversial initiatives of the European Commission due to its impact on fishing activity given the objectives it sets to preserve the marine environment, has been blocked after Hungary's decision to join the group of seven critical countries (Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Belgium and Italy) and thus avoid a majority for the regulations to go ahead.

This law was included on the agenda by the Belgian Government, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the EU, with the aim of showing the positions of each of the Member States.

Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: The octopus will be banned for two months this year and maybe four next year

SPAIN
Wednesday, March 27, 2024

Sales and billing have fallen by a third in one of the worst campaigns in memory

Since Daniel Formoso has been the chief patron of Muros—and for two decades now—the professionals of his estuary have always opted for a two-month ban on octopus. They would like it to be a biological strike, which entails compensation to professionals for mandatory mooring, but they do not doubt that "they must be given rest", with or without subsidy.

IN BRIEF - How we can cut carbon emissions in frozen food

UNITED KINGDOM
Tuesday, March 26, 2024

One hundred years ago, Clarence Birdseye invented flash-freezing and with it launched the frozen food industry. The world was a very different place then, but his invention would change food production and distribution forever.

At that time, few people, if any, recognised the effect human activity was having on our environment and the profound implications of the resulting climate change.

It has long been recognised that freezing food has a vital role to play in reducing food waste: a major cause of the potent greenhouse gas methane. Freezing extends shelf-life with no loss of freshness or nutrients so the food can be enjoyed by consumers when they want it.

Freezing also has the added advantage of portion control: what you don’t need goes back in the freezer for another day, helping cut food waste further.

But like many food businesses, we are not resting on our laurels and, as a responsible industry, we have a duty to ensure we are doing all we can to minimise our impact on the environment.

Now the results of a recent research project funded by Nomad Foods have identified the potential for a significant cut in carbon emissions across the frozen industry.

Working with experts at Campden BRI, Nomad set out to answer the question: can frozen food products be stored at a higher temperature than the –18°C industry standard? [...]
