The Frenchmen denounce that they find 20-kilometre nets deployed that prevent them from fishing

Around 80% of marine debris is plastic, collects the European Union Agency for the Space Program (EUSPA, for its acronym in English). To address the global plastic pollution crisis, the European Commission has launched the EIC Horizon and Cassini Award for Digital Space Applications with the aim of developing space-based solutions to track and remove marine plastic pollution.
In this way, EUSPA and Mercator Ocean are jointly organizing a webinar, next Wednesday, January 18 at 3:30 p.m., in which the bases of the award will be explained, which is aimed at marine or digital applications that solve problems or satisfy needs related to the detection and monitoring of plastic pollution in rivers, lakes, coasts and coastal areas with the aim of preventing it.

The National Saury Pole Net Fishery Cooperative Association (Tokyo) announced on the 10th that the nationwide saury catch in 2022 was 17,910 tons, down 2.1% from the previous year.
The record low catch continued, and the record low was renewed for the fourth consecutive year.
Compared to 10 years ago in 2012 (218,371 tons), it fell to a low level of only about 8%.
Wholesale prices have also remained high, and saury, which has been popular as the “taste of autumn,” has been far from being eaten.
The average wholesale unit price at the local market was 5,758 yen per 10 kilograms, down 7.2% from the previous year, but about three times higher than in 2018.
The total value of catches fell 9.1% to 10,311.79 million yen, about half the 20 billion yen recorded in 2018.

Between the "Franco-Spanish" and Breton fishermen, coexistence is increasingly difficult due to the reduction of fishing areas. On December 10, a heated discussion broke out between Breton and "Franco-Spanish" fishermen off the coast of Guilvinec.
The reduction of the fishing zones causes more and more tensions between the Breton fishermen and the "Franco-Spanish". Breton professionals and trade unionists sound the alarm to prevent the situation from "degenerating".
A report on how to improve the welfare of the EU’s most widely farmed fish by Algarve Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR-Algarve), is now available.
The study was requested by the Aquaculture Advisory Council (AAC) and undertaken by researchers at CCMAR’s Fish Ethology & Welfare group, led by João Saraiva in collaboration with Jenny Volstor, María Cabrera-Álvarez and Pablo Arechavala-López.
The study focuses on the behavioural and welfare needs of the five main species farmed in the European Union: seabass, seabream, salmon, trout and carp.

Marine ingredients eco-certifier MarinTrust has released its assessment framework for multispecies fisheries and has begun accepting applicants for the certification.
The framework has been designed to meet needs of complex fisheries that do not typically meet the “conventional approach” of traditional reduction fisheries, MarinTrust said. MarinTrust made “major adaptations” to its standard designed for regions with wide-ranging fisheries, making sure they can provide sustainable fish supplies for both consumption and fishmeal and fish oil.
