Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: Anfaco-Cecopesca: 'We want Ecuador to have strict systems' of fishery traceability

ECUADOR
Monday, October 14, 2024

Since 2019, the EU has sanctioned Ecuador with a yellow card for non-compliance with illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, a wake-up call to comply with international standards. It does not affect its exports to the community market, where it introduces seafood worth almost 1.1 billion euros, declared Sonsoles García, Ecuadorian Minister of Production, Foreign Trade, Investments and Fisheries, in August. In a debate at the Conxemar fair, a representative of the General Directorate of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG Mare) pointed out that the EU "is close" to withdrawing the warning, despite the fact that there are still "certain doubts" about the traceability of the quantities processed.

UNITED KINGDOM
Saturday, October 12, 2024

The year 2024 is a special year for Suempol which celebrates its 35th anniversary. In this exceptional time Suempol is taking another ambitious step in its development by acquiring 100% shares in Copernus Ltd based in Hull. Copernus is a leading supplier of fresh fish on the UK market.

Suempol is the oldest producer of smoked salmon in Poland and one of the largest in the world. Its headquarters and main production plant are located in Bielsk Podlaski. The history of the company dates back to 1989. The company’s current position was achieved thanks to successful previous foreign acquisitions.

The roots of Copernus company also date back to the 1980s when it started selling fish on the wholesale market. Since then Copernus has been growing dynamically, becoming a producer of a wide range of fresh refrigerated products that reach the shelves of leading supermarkets throughout the United Kingdom. The company’s offer includes salmon, cod, haddock in various forms as well as other species of fish.

The philosophy of Copernus is based on long-standing family values, honesty, integrity and transparency. The company places a strong emphasis on close collaboration with partners, creating products that are closely developed with them to directly address consumer needs.

The modern Copernus production plant is located in Hull which is one of the main centres of the fishing industry in Great Britain. Each year, the facility produces an average of 52 million portions of seafood.


IN BRIEF - ‘Export quality’ fresh seafood delivered direct from sea to supermarket

NEW ZEALAND
Friday, October 11, 2024

As more Kiwis explore ways to prepare and eat whole fish, Foodstuffs North Island is making fresh whole fish more accessible in its supermarkets, reports FMCG Business.

Customers at PAK’nSAVE, New World, and Four Square stores across the North Island are enjoying export quality fish, delivered straight from sea to store, thanks to co-op owned Leigh Fish, a New Zealand fishery based north of Auckland, and key suppliers including Moana New Zealand and local small-scale fishers.

Traditionally, fish fillets have been a popular go-to among customers, but the growing demand for whole fish has led Foodstuffs to boost its availability.

Brett Sellers, Seafood Operations Manager for Foodstuffs North Island, says that while most New Zealand seafood is exported, premium export quality fish has typically been difficult for Kiwis to access, except through high-end restaurants or local direct-to-consumer sources – until now. 


IN BRIEF - Iwashi Sardine Catch 25% Higher Than 2023 Levels

RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Friday, October 11, 2024

Russian fishermen have caught 304,000 tons of Iwashi sardines in the Far Eastern basin, a significant increase from last year’s catch of 241,400 tons. Currently, around 30 fishing vessels are engaged in the sardine fishery.

Iwashi sardines are primarily sent for processing to create affordable and popular canned and preserved products.

Fishing for Iwashi takes place in the open waters of the northwest Pacific Ocean (NWPO) as well as within Japan's exclusive economic zone. In addition to Russian vessels, approximately 100 foreign boats—mostly flying the Chinese flag—are also operating in these waters, targeting sardines, mackerel, and other pelagic species.

Interesting Fact #1:

Iwashi is often referred to as the "people's fish" due to its nutritional value. Its meat is rich in iodine, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, B vitamins, and other beneficial microelements, making it suitable for a wide range of culinary dishes.

Interesting Fact #2:

The Japanese have been catching Iwashi since the 15th and 16th centuries, and it was a common dish on their tables during that time. In Japanese, the word for sardine is "maiwashi."

IN BRIEF - Squid: More than Just Calamari

UNITED STATES
Friday, October 11, 2024

A team of food scientists are working to reduce food waste—starting with squid wings.

Did you know that when squid is caught and processed—often for dishes like calamari—a lot of it goes to waste? In fact, out of the 65 million pounds of squid that are landed every year, about half are tossed out.

In our new podcast episode, we'll meet Rob Dumas and Denise Skonberg—two food scientists from the University of Maine and recipients of NOAA's Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant. They're working to reduce waste by turning squid fins (or wings) into a new, convenient frozen food product. 

The research team combined seafood science with culinary knowledge to make their products. They found innovative ways to test them—including holding an Iron Chef-inspired cooking competition! Listen to the episode to learn more about the work to reduce food waste and open new markets.

IN BRIEF - 28 Chinese Fishing Vessels and Warships Surge Into Philippine Waters – Water Cannons Blast Local Fishing Vessels

PHILIPPINES
Friday, October 11, 2024

The Scarborough Shoal, a long-disputed maritime flashpoint in the South China Sea – where over 190 Chinese vessels, including 28 fishing vessels and PLAN warships have been spotted operating in Philippine waters – saw fresh turmoil on Tuesday when a Chinese Coast Guard cutter unleashed a water cannon barrage on a Philippine fisheries vessel. The dramatic confrontation, captured on video and broadcast by the state-run People’s Television Network, underscored the escalating friction between Manila and Beijing over the resource-rich shoal.

According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), the incident involved two Philippine fisheries vessels—BRP Datu Cabaylo (MMOV-3001) and BRP Datu Sanday (MMOV-3002)—which were in the area to resupply local fishermen. As the ships approached the contested waters, they were met by two Chinese fishing vessels and a warship from the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). The footage shows China Coast Guard cutter 3301 unleashing torrents of water against the Datu Cabaylo, with Chinese vessels engaging in aggressive maneuvering to obstruct the Philippine boats. Despite the dangerous encounter, BFAR officials confirmed that the ships completed their mission.


Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: The United Kingdom renounces putting the label 'not suitable for the EU' on local products

UNITED KINGDOM
Friday, October 11, 2024

For fish, the obligation of this label would come into force next year

The British Government, in order to ensure that the inhabitants of Northern Ireland had the same access to British products as the rest of the United Kingdom and the same agri-food labeling requirements as those of the rest of the country, came up with the idea of ????implementing the label "not suitable for the EU", intended for those goods produced in Great Britain and intended for local consumption. It even had a schedule for the incorporation of these individual labels, which started in October 2023 with packaged meat and its derivatives, continued this October, and affected products such as fruits, vegetables and fish from July 2025.
