Catches are down, the number of active vessels and the direct employment they generate are down. However, and despite all the challenges faced, the Spanish fleet improves in the valorization of its production. This follows from the latest "Report on the Spanish Fishing Sector", published by Cepesca with the aim of analyzing the evolution of the industry during the 2020-2021 period. The document, which collects the statistics of a period inevitably conditioned by the pandemic, reflects the resistance and adaptability of Spanish fishing.

The price of diesel continues to rise and there is no one to stop it. Faced with the possibility that the moorings of the fleet will be repeated, due to the economic consequences derived from the conflict in Ukraine, the secretary general of Cepesca Javier Garat has recalled that fishing diesel already accounts for more than 60% of the operating costs and its price remains high. In 2021 alone, its value increased by 44.4%.
Darwin is proud to be hosting World Aquaculture for Australia for the first time since 2014. This annual event will incorporate the Australasian Aquaculture industry and will see several thousand attendees from around the world converge on the city of Darwin.

Boat builder US Watercraft is developing a new aquaculture support vessel for an oyster farmer in Chesapeake Bay, Virginia.
The vessel has been commissioned for Matheson Oyster Co, which grows oysters in baskets on an adjustable longline system in waters up to five feet deep.
In 2009 the Spanish fleet went on a mackerel binge. There was so much in the fishing ground and so little control of its consumption that when the Spanish Administration wanted to give an account, the quota that corresponded to it for that year had already been consumed in triplicate. Spain had 29,529 tons, with the discount for having exceeded the previous year, it remained at 25,525. But in the count at the end of the year, it turns out that its vessels had captured 90,954 tons.
