IN BRIEF - IFOP Reveals Key Advances in Sea Lice Control in Chilean Salmon Farming

CHILE
Wednesday, July 09, 2025

The Fisheries Development Institute (IFOP) held a virtual workshop on June 25, revealing the results of its program "Determination and Monitoring of Caligus rogercresseyi Resistance to Antiparasitics." This program, now in its eighth phase, aims to strengthen technical knowledge and support key sanitary decisions in Chilean salmon farming.
 
Dr. Jaiber Solano Iguarán, IFOP's senior researcher, reported 254 valid bioassays across 95 samplings, covering 28 Salmon Farming Concession Areas (ACS) in the Los Lagos and Aysén regions. The research evaluated the parasite's response to azamethiphos, deltamethrin, and cypermethrin.
 
Dr.Jaiber Solano Iguarán
 
Findings indicate an increasing trend in the EC50 value for azamethiphos, suggesting the need to diversify control tools. Conversely, deltamethrin and cypermethrin showed a decreasing EC50 trend in some areas, which could indicate a better parasite response.
 
The program is also advancing in innovative methods, including morphometric analysis of the parasite and the validation of bioassays with non-pharmacological compounds, such as hydrogen peroxide and plant extracts.
 
Collaboration among the Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture (Subpesca), the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (Sernapesca), and IFOP has been fundamental. Future challenges include studying the genetic connectivity of Caligus and expanding geographical coverage to optimize the sector's health.

Other Media | Ind Pesqueras: The European Parliament gives final approval to the EU-Greenland fisheries agreement, strategic for Europe beyond fishing

EUROPEAN UNION
Wednesday, July 09, 2025

With 616 votes in favor, 29 against, and 36 abstentions, the European Parliament plenary session has given the final green light to the new protocol of the new fisheries agreement between the European Union and Greenland, which will allow European vessels to fish in Greenlandic waters for the next six years, until 2030. The protocol, provisionally in force since last December, will allow the European fleet to catch key species such as cod, Greenland halibut, redfish, and northern shrimp. It also contemplates possible access to the capelin fishery if it reopens. Overall, the protocol establishes annual fishing opportunities of up to 30,906 tons: 13,000 tons of capelin (if fishing is authorized); 6,675 tons of Greenland halibut; 6,581 tons of northern prawn; 2,100 tons of redfish; and 2,050 tons of cod

UNITED KINGDOM
Wednesday, July 09, 2025

A project to recycle waste at an aquaculture hatchery in Wester Ross has secured up to £630,290 from Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE).

Bakkafrost Scotland limited is leading the project, which has a total investment value of more than £2.5m.

In the first of its kind in Scotland, the process known as pyrolysis converts aquaculture waste into biochar, which will be used by the forestry sector.

With the end of the ban, Chile is experiencing a boom in king crab exports. China accounts for 80% of shipments. Authorities urge compliance with regulations.
 
After the ban was lifted on July 1 in the regions of Magallanes and southern Aysén, and with the upcoming reopening in Los Lagos, Los Ríos, and northern Aysén starting December 1, a new season begins where fresh southern king crab appears in restaurants. According to Las Últimas Noticias (LUN), this opening marks "its tastiest ever." The increase in local supply comes at a time of historic expansion in foreign trade.

Other Media | SalmonBusiness: Why BioMar is quietly adding this ingredient to every salmon feed

DENMARK
Tuesday, July 08, 2025

BioMar increases vitamin D3 levels in salmon feed following research findings.

Feed producer BioMar has more than doubled the vitamin D3 content across all its salmon diets, following internal trials that linked elevated supplementation to higher fillet vitamin levels without adverse effects on fish performance.

The move comes after the EU raised the maximum permitted vitamin D3 concentration in aquafeed for salmonids from 2,500 to 60,000 IU/kg in 2019. BioMar said its research confirmed that higher dietary inclusion led to a proportional increase in vitamin D3 in the fish fillet, with no measurable impact on growth, feed intake, or conversion rates.

Other Media | EuropaAzul: Irish Sea herring concern: ICES recommends limiting catches to 2,935 tonnes in 2026

DENMARK
Monday, July 07, 2025

The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) has updated its assessment of fishing opportunities for herring (Clupea harengus) in the Northern Division 7a of the Irish Sea (north of 52°30'N). In its latest advice, published on June 6, 2025, ICES advises that, applying the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) approach, catches should not exceed 2,935 tonnes in 2026, a figure lower than the previous recommendation (3,206 tonnes for 2025).
 
This adjustment is due to a continued decline in spawning stock biomass (SSB) and a level of fishing mortality that remains above sustainable limits.
