The fishing sector, which represents the inshore, high seas and high seas fleets, which operate in Spanish and community fishing grounds, as well as other distant ones, warns of the serious impact that the rise in fuel prices is having on its economy, and its possible consequences, according to a report by the Vigo Shipowners Cooperative
In the case of fleets that receive fuel on the peninsula, the 20-cent bonus is insufficient compared to the March scenario; already subsidized fuel costs exceed 90 cents in Vigo, and thus the profitability limit calculated at 60 cents/litre.
This spring, the enhanced processing facility has taken its first salmon from Cooke farms in Atlantic Canada for processing into True North Seafood branded products.
The plant will process between 50,000-60,000 metric tons of raw material. The 6,500-square-meter plant enables more throughput to process fresh and frozen value-added products, said the company.

A study said vitamin D3 from animal-based foods is more effective at boosting vitamin D levels in the blood than D2, which is found in plant foods like mushrooms and added to some brands of bread, cereal and yogurts.

The snow crab fishery in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador initially expected a banner year for fishing and prices, but a sudden change in the market has left fishermen and processing companies alike reeling.
The fishery got off to a rocky start in April, when the Fish Food and Allied Workers (FFAW) Union, which represents fishermen in Newfoundland and Labrador and the Association of Seafood Producers (ASP) – a nonprofit group representing seafood producers in the same area – clashed over what the fishermen would be paid for their catch.

Iceland has set up an investigation following two recent Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA) outbreaks in the east of the country.
Until recently, the country has been fairly free of this damaging and potentially costly virus and other aquaculture related diseases. In the last few weeks, however, Ice Fish Farm has been hit on at least two occasions, affecting up to two million fish. The company said the outbreaks will dent harvests over the next 12 months.
Now Iceland’s Fisheries Minister Svandís Svavarsdóttir has appointed a working group to look into infection controls on the island and recommend any changes, if necessary.
Mowi has won a special recognition award at Compassion in World Farming’s Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards, which took place in London today.
The awards aim to showcase the work of food businesses around the world that make genuine and meaningful improvements to the lives of farmed animals, and the sustainability of their supply chains.
According to Compassion, improvements in fish welfare are lagging behind those for terrestrial animals, largely because fish sentience is generally less recognised.

The Government of France has celebrated the agreement reached in the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the IMO, to designate the entire Mediterranean as a Sulfur Oxide Emission Control Zone (SOx-ECA), which means that ships will have to comply with stricter controls on sulfur oxide emissions. In reduction zones, the sulfur limit in fuel oil used on board ships must be 0.10% mass by mass (m/m), while outside these zones the limit is 0.50% m /m. The amendment could take effect in mid-2024, with the new limit taking effect from 2025.
