Other Media | SeafoodSource: USDA to purchase USD 50 million worth of Alaska pollock

UNITED STATES
Wednesday, January 22, 2025

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) plans to purchase USD 50 million (EUR 48 million) worth of Alaska pollock in 2025 in support of the federal government’s food bank and nutrition programs.

ASMI noted that the purchases will help the Alaskan pollock sector, which is struggling with low prices and other challenges.

Alaska’s pollock fishery harvested nearly 1.3 million metric tons (MT) of fish in 2024, just shy of the amount allocated for the fishery by regulators. The pollock B season was closed early in September 2024 after two pollock trawlers accidentally harvested 2,000 Chinook salmon, triggering the fishery’s bycatch limit. The incident resulted in 50,000 MT of quota left in the Gulf of Alaska.

VIET NAM

The Vietnam Pangasius Industry Report 2015 - 2024, conducted by the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) and released in January 2025, is expected to provide businesses, importers and state management agencies with an overview of important developments in the production and export of Vietnamese pangasius over the past 10 years.

With sustainable growth and stable export volume, pangasius has become one of Vietnam's key export products, bringing important foreign currency to the national economy.

However, the pangasius industry is also facing significant challenges, including environmental issues, fierce competition from other countries, and international trade barriers. This report will analyze in depth the factors affecting the development of the industry, and propose practical solutions and recommendations for the pangasius industry to continue to develop in a sustainable and effective manner.

IN BRIEF - High quality Scottish mackerel in strong demand from markets

UNITED KINGDOM
Tuesday, January 21, 2025

The January mackerel fishery is progressing well with productive marks of high-quality fish being located by the Scottish fleet.

Fishing to the west of Shetland, the fleet have been catching good-sized mackerel, which are in strong demand from the markets.

Ally West, co-skipper of the Fraserburgh-registered Resolute and vice-chairman of the Scottish Pelagic Fishermen’s Association said: “There have also been plenty of small fish to the north-east of the core fishing area, but these have not been fished. It is good to see these smaller fish and it means good recruitment is coming through in the stock.

“Mackerel quality has been very good and we have encountered plenty of fish and demand from the markets is high.”

The Resolute has been landing its catches into Pelagia Shetland in Lerwick, as well as Egersund, Norway.

Robert Duthie, chairman of the Scottish Pelagic Processors Association, said demand was especially good from the Japanese and other Far Eastern markets, which were exhibiting encouraging growth.

The winter mackerel season will come to an end within the next fortnight, after which some of the Scottish fleet will work a short fishery off Norway for Atlanto-Scandian herring and for blue whiting to the west of Ireland. The next major pelagic fishery will be for MSC certified North Sea herring, which will commence in mid-summer, with the autumn mackerel fishery following thereafter.

Other Media | EuropaAzul: Senegalese shipowners see only one alternative: fishing in Costa Rica or Ecuador

SPAIN
Tuesday, January 21, 2025

Basque shipowners, whose boats are moored in Senegal, see only one alternative: going to fish in Costa Rica or Ecuador, after having held negotiations yesterday with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, in order to return to work.
Thus, the shipowners have held negotiations with Panama, to make bait and then fish in Costa Rica or go fishing in Ecuador.
 
In fact, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is going to start negotiations so that the Basque tuna fleet can operate in waters in Costa Rica and Ecuador, given the impossibility of doing so in Senegal, after the conclusion of the fishing agreement between this country and the European Union (EU).

Other Media | SalmonBusiness: Could Trump’s tariffs put Scotland’s largest food export at risk?

UNITED STATES
Tuesday, January 21, 2025

Could the returning US president threaten Scottish salmon’s success in the US?

Donald Trump’s second term as U.S. president kicked off with what some are calling an unexpected show of restraint. Instead of immediately implementing the hefty tariffs promised during his campaign, Trump issued a presidential memorandum on his first day in office, calling for a comprehensive review of unfair trade practices.

While this move has delayed any immediate action, it signals the beginning of what is expected to be a tumultuous period for global trade, with potential repercussions for Scotland’s prized salmon export market.
