IN BRIEF - Blumar's strategy to improve the results of its salmon farming area

CHILE
Thursday, September 07, 2023

In the second quarter of 2023, Blumar's salmon farming segment recorded a slight drop in revenue, from US$91.6 million to US$90.3 million, while it went from profits of US$6.5 million in the same period from 2022 to losses of US$ 7.1 million currently.
 
The commercialized volume of Atlantic salmon expanded by 16%, driven by larger harvests, which went from 24,549 tons WFE to 27,433 tons WFE. Of the total, 69% came from the Aysén region and 31% from Magallanes.
 
General Manager of Blumar, Gerardo Balbontín -->
 
For its part, the average price had an increase of 6% at the end of the second quarter compared to the same period in 2022. The above is explained by the recovery of demand in the main markets. The ex-cage cost reached US$ 5.1 per kilo WFE, being 17% higher than the previous US$ 4.37 per kilo WFE. This result is due to higher costs of food, health and indirect production, mainly attributed to inflationary effects.

IN BRIEF - Fish farming for change: empowering Papua New Guinea communities

AUSTRALIA
Thursday, September 07, 2023

A UNSW Sydney researcher has received $2.6 million in funding to expand fish farming and its positive social impact in Papua New Guinea.

Associate Professor Jes Sammut from UNSW Science has received more than $2.6 million from the Australian Centre for International Agriculture Research for a project that will build on previous work to improve fish farming in Papua New Guinea (PNG).


“We have transformed lives under our previous projects. It is exciting to be funded to do more in PNG,” A/Prof. Sammut said. 

“Over the last 13 years I have witnessed many positive societal changes where we have introduced fish farming. The increase in protein in diets is the most obvious, but the increase in self-esteem and pride in farmers is also uplifting. I am particularly heartened to see the peace and hope that fish farming has brought to people who were once engaged in long-term tribal fighting.”

In collaboration with the National Fisheries Authority (NFA), the new project will introduce technologies to boost commercialisation through larger farms and expand training networks for fish farming.

A rule requiring escrow 30 percent escrow deposits on Indonesian export shipments valued above USD 250,000 (EUR 230,000) is under government review.

Other Media | The Fish Site: The rise of novel shrimp farming techniques in China

CHINA
Thursday, September 07, 2023

China is experiencing a boom in novel farming techniques, with low-cost “greenhouse” farms and recirculating aquaculture systems (RASs) both gaining significant traction in recent years.

This was one of the key components of a very entertaining presentation on Chinese shrimp production, which was delivered today by Guo Fuci, global aquaculture lead at Royal Agrifirm.

Speaking at this week’s Global Shrimp Forum, Guo explained that greenhouse systems – which are essentially 40 x 10 m ponds covered by transparent plastic sheeting – now account for 30 percent of China’s domestic shrimp production, with 10,000 such ponds being built every quarter.

Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: Pesca stops the purchase and sale of quotas for nine species to distribute them for free

SPAIN
Thursday, September 07, 2023

Nothing less than 32.6 million kilos last year and 28 the previous one, only in national waters. So that all that fish would not go uncaught, which would be worth around 197 million euros at first sale, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food withdrew it from boats that used to have excess and distributed it free among others that had exhausted quotas. Now it will do the same with all the Spanish quotas in all the fishing grounds. To calculate how much can be left over in the last stretch of the year, he stops temporary transfers for a while, as he calls the purchase-sale or exchange of fishing opportunities.

IN BRIEF - NOK 1 billion (U$D 93M) growth for salmon exports

NORWAY
Wednesday, September 06, 2023

  • Norway exported 125,041 tonnes of salmon with a total value of NOK 10.7 billion (U$D 1 billion) in August.
  • The export value increased by NOK 1.7 billion (U$D 158M), or 18 per cent, compared to August last year.
  • There is a growth in volume of 6 per cent.
  • Poland, the USA, and the Netherlands were the biggest export markets for salmon in August.
  • The export value for Norwegian salmon is the highest that has been measured in the month of August.

“It is currently the last in a series of 30 months with continuous growth in value measured against the same period the previous year. We must go back to May 2011 to find an equally long continuous growth period”, says Paul T. Aandahl, Seafood Analyst with the Norwegian Seafood Council.

Two contributing factors

Growth has been driven by an increase in demand following the coronavirus pandemic and a weakened Norwegian krone.

Poland had the largest increase in value this month, with an increase in export value of NOK 420 million, or 30 per cent, compared to the same month last year.

The export volume to Poland ended at 24,412 tonnes, which is 15 per cent higher than the same month last year. growth for salmon exports
