Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: Atunlo is liquidated without severance pay for the company's remaining executives

SPAIN
Monday, July 07, 2025

The Vigo-based parent company's liquidation process concludes with a debt of €120 million
 
Three months after the liquidation phase began, Atunlo is now history. The bankruptcy administrator concluded the process on Thursday to liquidate the parent company of what was once Spain's largest tuna marketer. This move puts an end to the 18-year history of Atunes y Lomos, the head of a fishing group that once had a turnover of nearly €250 million and employed more than a thousand people across its plants in Galicia, Vila Nova de Cerveira, Santoña, and Cape Verde.

Other Media | BBC: Broken gates costing fishers 'up to £2k a day'

UNITED KINGDOM
Monday, July 07, 2025

Fishing businesses are calling for urgent repairs to the lock gates at Plymouth's Sutton Harbour.

The Plymouth Fishing & Seafood Association said fishers were losing between £1,200 to £2,000 a day because the problem reduced the time they had to fish and land catches.

Plymouth MP Luke Pollard has called on the Environment Agency to take urgent action to fix the gates and prevent further breakdowns.

The Environment Agency said repairs were a priority and work would start on Monday.

Other Media | Fish Farmer: Icelandic parliament agonises over new fishing fees bill

ICELAND
Monday, July 07, 2025

The Althingi, Iceland’s parliament, has been debating measures that,  if approved, will greatly add to the costs of both sea fishing and fish farming companies. Fierce argument is expected to continue through today in the legislature. 

Known as the Fishing Fees Bill, the measure was brought in by the new government earlier this year and has met with fierce opposition from the industry.

Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir said last night the government wants to settle the issue. Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir, Chairwoman of the Independence Party, says however that she cannot agree to let the fishing fees bill pass as it would have serious consequences for the country’s seafood communities.

IN BRIEF - National Fisheries Institute Statement on Section 139L of the OBBB Act

UNITED STATES
Friday, July 04, 2025

Reston, VA NFI has been working diligently to help the seafood community benefit from the type of programs the agriculture sector has enjoyed for decades. This provision is a quintessential example of that work. Seafood, like ag, produces products that are vital to food security in this country. Meanwhile, our fishermen, producers and processors, who provide almost 1.6 million U.S. jobs, ensure the healthiest animal protein on the planet makes it to American plates, a true public health benefit.

Lisa Wallenda Picard

President & CEO

‘‘SEC. 139L. INTEREST ON LOANS SECURED BY RURAL OR AGRICULTURAL REAL PROPERTY.”

‘‘(A) any real property which is substantially used for the production of one or more agricultural products, ‘‘

‘‘(B) any real property which is substantially used in the trade or business of fishing or seafood processing, and

‘‘(C) any aquaculture facility."


Other Media | Industrias Pesqueras: German fleet activity grows 4% in volume, but declines 1.3% in value

GERMANY
Friday, July 04, 2025

The German offshore and coastal fishing fleet landed around 162,530 tons of fish in 2024, representing a 4% increase over the previous year. According to the Federal Office of Agriculture and Food (BLE), the increase is primarily due to higher catch quotas in the Northeast Atlantic, especially for pelagic species such as herring. However, despite the growth in volume, revenue decreased by 1.3%, reaching €179.6 million, compared to €181.9 million in 2023. The government indicates that the composition of the catches, with a higher proportion of low-value species, has influenced the economic performance for the year.

Within a package of 37 new fishing industry initiatives, the Danish government has established trawl-free areas in 19% of its marine waters, with the decision introducing a bottom trawl ban in the Belt Sea, including Isefjord and several important areas in the Kattegat around existing Natura 2000 areas, as well as a large sea area off Djursland.

The government package also includes a suspension of the CO2 tax for fishing, whereby fishermen will receive full compensation for the CO2 tax in 2025, and then the tax will be suspended until 2029, when a gradual phasing-in will begin, with full phasing-in from 2030. Over DKK 800 million has been allocated for this.
