IN BRIEF - Fishery exports increase 35% in 9 months on year

IRAN
Wednesday, February 08, 2023

TEHRAN - The value of Iran’s fishery export has risen 35 percent in the first nine months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 21-December 21, 2022), compared to the same period of time in the past year, according to the secretary of the Aquatics Production and Trade Union of Iran.

According to Ali-Akbar Khodaei, the nine-month fishery export was also 20 percent more than the last year’s figure in terms of weight, IRIB reported.

The official put the total fishery exports in the previous year at 151,000 tons.

Iran’s caviar export, however, has decreased significantly due to the lack of demand in global markets, Khodaei said.

Iranian caviar is mainly exported to European countries, and Arab neighbors including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, and Oman.

Other Media | Fish Focus: Norwegian salmon continues to lead global sushi category

NORWAY
Friday, July 11, 2025

Norwegian salmon continues to lead global sushi category 40 years on from its introduction to Japan. 

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the introduction of salmon sushi to Japan, thanks to a group of determined Norwegians intent on persuading the Japanese that high-quality raw salmon from Norway could complement their national dish.

Now globally recognised for both its nutritional value and taste, salmon sushi has played a vital role in establishing a global preference for raw salmon. According to estimates from the Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC), around 30% of Norwegian salmon ends up as sushi and is consumed raw.

In 1985, a delegation of Norwegians travelled to Tokyo  to establish trade relations and sell fish to the Japanese.

Argentina has authorized the opening of Subarea 12 for commercial shrimp fishing starting July 9, following a successful survey and recommendations from INIDEP, confirming new catch opportunities within the Permanent Hake Juvenile Spawning Closure Area.

BUENOS AIRES – The National Directorate of Fisheries Coordination and Control has announced the opening of Subarea N° 12 for commercial shrimp (Pleoticus muelleri) fishing.

In addition to opening Subarea 12, a decision has been made to extend the ongoing survey in Subarea N° 7 by 24 hours. This extension will allow for the collection of more crucial data for future management decisions.

This authorization represents significant news for the fishing sector, opening new fishing grounds for shrimp, a high-value commercial resource for Argentina.

Other Media | SeafoodSource: Iberian sardine regains MSC certification after over a decade

SPAIN
Thursday, July 10, 2025

Iberian sardine fishing fleets from Spain and Portugal have regained Marine Stewardship Council certification after over a decade of work.

The MSC certification for the sardine purse-seine fishery was first suspended in 2012, just over one year after the fishery had first earned the right to carry the label. An audit in December 2011 found the fishery lacked the necessary harvest controls and that fishing mortality had increased since 2008, while the spawning stock biomass had decreased since 2006, according to the MSC at the time.

The fishery regained its certification again in January 2013, then lost it again in 2014 over challenges to stock management.
