A second attempt by Australia's orange roughy fishery certified to the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standard has been thrown out by an independent adjudicator.
The decision puts to rest a fight between WWF and the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) over the certification of the orange roughy fishery, a species considered endangered, threatened, and protected under Australian law.
In 2020, U.S.-based MRAG Americas recommended Australia’s orange roughy fishery be certified as sustainable according MSC certification guidelines.

Dutch lighting giant Signify has launched new solar-powered fish-pond lights that it says increase growth and improve feed conversion ratio (FCR) in many different species, including tilapia.
The grow lights fit any pond and can illuminate for up to six hours after sunset, said the company, which markets the product under its Philips brand.
Research by the South China Agricultural University in a commercial-scale trial at a tilapia farm using 60 solar luminaires in a 7,000m² pond confirmed a 10% increase in fish growth and a 10% reduction in FCR, meaning that fish farmers need less feed per kilogram of fish, Signify said in a press release.

Egyptian leader uses channel liberation and patriotism to gain popularity
Two months after leading the Army in removing the country's first democratically elected ruler, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi made a pilgrimage to the Suez Canal. In a ceremony laden with patriotism, the former general announced a mega-project that would revive Egypt after the chaos of the Arab Spring: an expansion of the canal, one of the most powerful symbols of Egyptian national identity, worth $ 8 billion. "We must move forward, and do it firmly, to get out of the circle of poverty in which we are immersed," Sisi said then.

Of the total commercial tuna catches worldwide, 87.6% continue to come from stocks with “healthy” levels of abundance, according to the latest report from the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) on the state of stocks. Furthermore, 9.6% of the total tuna catches come from overexploited stocks and 2.8% from stocks with an intermediate abundance level. This is the second update to this report since March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic began to affect the work of regional fisheries management organizations (OROP).
