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.

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.
