Switzerland: Subsidy deal a step forward for managing overfishing

Non-indigenous species in the Mediterranean can be both a threat and a resource

The World Trade Organization has resolved 20 years of negotiations between member states with the recent WTO subsidies agreement. The agreement will restrict subsides that encourage overfishing and facilitate potential investment in the blue economy. Currently an estimated USD $22 billion in subsidies per year is invested in fisheries and is responsible for encouraging overfishing and unsustainable fishing practices. Four fifths of this funding is allocated for industrial fishing and only 19 benefits artisanal fishing. The WTO agreement is an important recognition that these subsidies are harmful and encourage overfishing, environmental destruction, and facilitate the disappearance of small-scale fisheries. The agreement will not completely ban fishing subsidies but primarily focuses on regulating illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing, limiting over exploitation of fish stocks, and increasing transparency within the fishing industry. Non-governmental organizations that have been strong advocates for reform of fisheries subsidies have identified that the increased transparency and access to data that will result from this agreement is important in increasing social equity and marine conservation. An NGO, BLOOM, has criticized the agreement for its lack of an outright ban of subsidies, however, it recognises that subsidies that encouraged overexploitation of fish stocks are the most lobbied for by member states. In her speech announcing the agreement the WTO Director General OkonjoIweala identified that the agreement is a starting point for future negotiations for managing overfishing and will free up funds for investment in the blue economy. This investment will include nature-based tourism, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, maritime shipping, biotechnology, renewable energy, and seabed exploration. The agreement is an exciting step for international cooperation in sustainable development and fisheries management.

A 2021 report released by the FAO has identified 900 non-indigenous species in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. The report highlighted the Suez Canal and the Gibraltar Strait as primary pathways for nonindigenous species migration via means of species migration, accidental transport in the ballasts of ships, and purposeful transport for commercial uses. Climate change and changing temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea becomes favorable to non-indigenous species. The report identified that while most non-indigenous species pose severe economic and environmental threats, some have underlying economic potential. The FAO identified the Mnemiopsis leidyi as an example of a species that poses an economic risk. M. leidyi is indigenous to western Atlantic coastal waters, however, it has been present in the Black Sea since the 1980s. The presence of M. leidyi in the Black Sea has caused the biomass and abundance of plankton species to decrease drastically leading to decreased fish production. The most significant being anchovy production which resulted from the

Blue crab is just one example of a non-indigenous species that is disrupting the Mediterranean fishery

competitive advantage of M. leidyi over anchovies for food consumption. However, in Turkey, Spain, Albania, and other Mediterranean countries, the non-indigenous Callinectes sapidus (blue crab) presents potential economic opportunity despite the increased risk to biodiversity and the existing fishing economy. The blue crab is larger than most indigenous crabs, so it has successfully established in most coastal regions in Europe despite its Western Atlantic origins. The general demand for blue crab creates an economic opportunity amidst the devastation caused by the non-indigenous species. For some countries, this opportunity is more accessible than others. Turkey, for example, has been able to harness the demand for blue crab within the country and in external markets. This allows eradication efforts to be paired with economic opportunity. Meanwhile, Albania has limited to no demand for blue crab within the country, and for various reasons is unable to export it. Consequently, Albanian fishermen enjoy no benefits and are only harmed by the blue crab ripping their nets and killing their fish catches.

Hungary: Greek aquaculture pioneer receives award at FEAP annual meeting

The Federation of European Aquaculture Producers (FEAP) held its 54th Annual General Meeting in Budapest on 10 June. The meeting was chaired by the FEAP President, Lara BaraziGeroulanou, and welcome addresses were delivered by Dr István Németh, president of the Hungarian Aquaculture and Fisheries Interbranch Organization (MA-HAL), and by Péter Lengyel, Fisheries and Aquaculture director of Hungary Ministry of Agriculture. Pre-recorded videos from Gabriel Mato, MEP and Virginijus Sinkevi ius, EU Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans, and Fisheries, were played. Another practice adopted by the General Assembly of the FEAP included initiating workstreams that supported young aquaculture professionals following the conclusions of the AquaFarm fair that had taken place in Pordenone (Italy) in May. Additionally, Sigurgeir Bárðarson, from Fisheries Iceland (SFS), was elected as Vice president of the FEAP. The FEAP Award for Excellence in European Aquaculture was also awarded to Ms. Nancy Panteleimonitou for her exceptional contribution to the development of fish farming in Europe. Ms. Panteleimonitou has dedicated her career to producing and exporting top-quality fresh fish to the world through her company Galaxidi Marine Farm. Ms. Panteleimonitou and her team were instrumental in developing animal husbandry techniques and commercial hatchery know-how which formed the basis for the growth of many other companies in the industry. Ms. Panteleimonitou is also a generous philanthropist and has generously supported her hometown of Galaxidi (Greece) and the people who live there. The next plenary meeting of FEAP will take place in December in Athens.

Denmark: Eurofish and FAO host artisanal fisheries webinar

To commemorate the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture, Eurofish in cooperation with the FAO Subregional Office for Central Asia hosted on 15 June 2022 a two-hour webinar that highlighted successes in smallscale fisheries in Europe.

Eurofish welcomed five speakers: Ante Sladoljev from Croatia, David Lange from Denmark, Erko Veltson from Estonia, Nuri Basusta from Turkey, and Valentina Cappanera from Italy. Ante Sladoljev discussed the success of small-scale fishermen in embracing EMFF funding and grants to, among other benefits, expand their business, gain access to resources, plan for long term development, and get new equipment. He also shared the development of a fishing cooperative that allowed small scale fishermen to develop a processing facility, be recognized as a producer organization, and gain a bigger market influence. Finally, he discussed the success of the “Fishermen Recommend” quality label. The label is designated for fish that are local, wild, and fresh. The label allows small scale fisherman to establish a greater foothold in local restaurant and tourism markets and thereby limit their individual carbon footprint from transporting fish.

Small-scale fi shing is sustainable by several measures

David Lange spoke on low impact fishing in Denmark and the challenges in optimizing low impact fishing practices which are less effective but have less consequences in terms of bycatch, fuel use, and sea floor impact. Mr Lange highlighted the opportunities to increase the sustainability of fisheries by developing technology, labelling, public information, political initiatives, limiting quotas, and diversifying fisheries. The organization FSKPO, that he is a board member of, creates awareness of the issues among the public and supports the continued development of low impact fishing in Denmark. Erko Veltson discussed the diversification of the fish market in Estonia. The Estonian company, Stonefish, received an EMFF grant to develop a processing and sales facility for a diverse range of valueadded products including fishing equipment, processed fish, fish chocolate, and fish-based snacks. The company focuses on personal branding in telling the life story of the fisherman who catch the product and has successfully increased the opportunities for the local fishermen.

Speakers from five European sea basins, the Adriatic, the Baltic, the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, and the North Sea, presented stories that illustrated how small-scale fishers’ success often stems from collaboration and the ability to take initiatives.

Rapa whelk processing an income source for marginalized women

Nuri Basusta spoke on the development of rapa whelk fisheries in the Black Sea. Rapa whelk is a nonindigenous species to the Black Sea and is used for human consumption in parts of Asia. The species threatens indigenous populations of bivalves such as mussels and oysters. Rapa whelk is a profitable export, yet given its invasive status there remains very limited information on management strategies. However, rapa whelk exports have successfully provided economic opportunities for marginalized communities and women in Turkey. Valentina Cappanera shared the success of the tonnarella fishing practices to coexist with the environmental protection of the Portofino marine protected area. Tonnarella is a historic way of fishing that uses nets to catch the fish by exploiting the currents. The fishing has provided an opportunity to cooperate with science to create a biological record of changes in biodiversity over time. The cooperation between interested scientists and the fisherman is valuable for the data It generates. The presentations prompted a lively discussion with the active participation of the attendees emphasizing the importance of artisanal fisheries for communities around the world.

Estonia: Potential wind turbine toleration payments for impacted fishermen

Offshore wind energy is an important development for countries wishing to limit their reliance on natural gas, bring down energy prices, and move away from fossil fuel use. Objectives set out by the European Blue Economy and other sustainability goals will be dependent on clean energy transitions such as offshore wind farms. Estonia is planning for the development of a wind turbine farm, however, managing the risks to fisheries is proving difficult. Risk assessments have shown that wind turbines can cause large amounts of underwater noise and permanent electromagnetic fields, both of which may be harmful to fish. In original negotiations the Ministry of Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications proposed a €700,000 compensation the fisheries sector contingent on a proof of impact of wind farms on fisheries. The latest proposal has drastically decreased this number and now the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications is suggesting a €100,000-150,000 compensation for fishermen. This new proposal is being contested by the Ministry of Rural Affairs as it is seen as unfair to the fishermen. Regardless, the Estonian impact assessment for the effects of wind turbines on fisheries is yet to be completed. If the impact assessment finds that the wind turbines are in areas that will not impact fishing yields or there is limited overall impact, a significant

Offshore wind turbines are the subject of on-going debate as Estonia works to develop more renewable energy.

payment will not be required. The Ministry of Economic Affairs is hopeful and optimistic that this will be the case. Wind turbine farm permits and proposals are still being negotiated and the first wind turbine farm will not be built until at least 2028. With the significant potential for Estonian wind turbine farms and large number of pending proposals, negotiations with fish producers will remain ongoing.

Denmark: News innovative technology for sorting seafood helps maximize profits

Current utilization of aquatic biomass is inefficient. For the 5.1 million tons of biomass that is caught, only 1.5 million tons high quality product is produced. Therefore, up to 70 of aquatic biomass is either disposed of or converted into low value products such as animal feed. The EU funded product, WaSeaBi, has been tasked with identifying and developing infrastructure to develop high quality side streams for left over raw materials. The most recent technology allows for fish parts to be sorted while they are being filleted. Common practice for filleting pelagic fish allows all the off-cuts to be disposed of in the same bin. This contaminates any potentially edible or viable off-cuts with blood, enzymes, and intestines. Sorting the off-cuts by type allows for maximization potential economic value. The technology which has been developed in cooperation with Chalmers University of Technology, has been implemented at Sweden Pelagic AB. The CEO of Sweden Pelagic AB praised the product for its potential to extend the company’s product range and diversify the consumer base. Sweden Pelagic AB estimates that they will produce around 200-300 tons of herring mince this year, and they now have 5 cuts that can be sold for food production or as ingredients in minces, protein isolates, hydrolysates and oils. These new products have resulted in consumer interest for pan-ready and eat-ready products as well as from school kitchens and other public meal producers. This technology is assisting the fish industry in increasing efficiency and the economic value of each ton of fish catch.

New technology that enables off-cuts from pelagic fish to be sorted could result in the creation of valueadded products.

Spain: Microplastics ingested by aquaculture fish do not end up in edible tissues

The Technological Centre for Aquaculture in Spain (CTAQUA) published a recent report which concluded that the fillets of aquaculture fish that are produced for human consumption do not contain detectible quantities of microplastics. This research provides valuable information on the growing microplastic concerns and their subsequent effects on human health. Microplastics are tiny, degraded forms of plastic that have decomposed in the ocean after the improper disposal of a larger plastic product. They can form from lost or broken fishing gear in addition to other nonspecific litter. The study tested 150 aquaculture fish from farms in Andalusia, The Canary Islands, Catalonia, Valencian Community, Balearic Islands, and the Murcia region. The researchers tested the water quality and quantity of microplastics in the water surrounding the fish farms, quantities of microplastics in aquafeed, and quantities of microplastics in the fish specimens. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTI) technology, which can be used to detect organic, inorganic, or polymeric materials, was used to detect the microplastics in the water and in the fish. Despite the presences of microplastic in the water surrounding the fish farm and in the digestive tracts of the fish, the researchers found no microplastics in the parts of the filets of the fish that are consumed. The research supports the assumption that even if the water contains microplastics, by nature

Microplastics are the result of excessive worldwide plastic use and waste

of being fed aquaculture feed rather than being a member of the natural food chain, the aquaculture-produced fish will avoid ingesting high levels of microplastics because aquaculture feed prevents any biomagnification. This research contributes to the body of scientific work that is concerned with the effects of microplastics on human health. This includes a 2021 study that investigated the presence of microplastics in shellfish and found no microplastics in a shrimp species, but large quantities of microplastic in a squid species. The scientific research suggests that the question of the effect of microplastics on human health will be dependent on the type of fish consumed.

Thailand: 17th Infofish World Tuna Trade Conference and Exhibition

Belgium: Mediterranean, Baltic stock situation still precarious

Italy: MEPS visit Sicily to discuss industry challenges

From 11 to 13 October 2022, the 17th Infofish World Tuna Trade Conference and Exhibition will be held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. This is the premier convention of the global tuna industry. The event will be co-chaired by Ms Jan Tharp, the President and CEO of Bumble Bee Seafoods Co, and Dr. Chanintr Chalisarapong, the President of the Thai Tuna Industry Association. This

The European Commission has published its annual sustainable fishing report. The report noted strong growth and success in the Northeast Atlantic and persistent challenges in the Mediterranean and Baltic Sea. The Northeast Atlantic has done well in the recovery of depleted fish stocks and has reported a fishing mortality ratio of below 1 for the first time. This means that the stocks in the Northeast Atlantic are being fished sustainably. The Mediterranean is

MEPs from the EU Committee on Fisheries visited Sicily on 23-25 May to discuss challenges for the fishing sector with local authorities, the coast guard, local fishers and seafood representatives. The visit was specifically to the Mazara del Vallo port which is the largest fishing port in Italy. The visit was led by Pierre Karleskind, committee chair. The goal of the visit was to establish a better understanding of the challenges facing Italian fisherman from climate change, maintaining healthy yet profitable stocks, and fishermen safety. Combating year’s two-and-a-half-day event is titled, “Strengthening Resilience, Adaptability and Sustainable Growth in the Global Tuna Industry.” The conference creates a platform to present the challenges and opportunities facing the global tuna market while providing attendees with the opportunity to connect and network with representatives from all segments of the tuna industry. Six hundred attendees from 70

far behind with the fishing mortality ratio only falling below 2 for the first time. The Mediterranean fishery is facing significant obstacles with catch limits and enforcing landing obligations. The volume of unwanted catches remains very high, and the report suggested that member states are more concerned with adopting exemptions than improving selectivity. The Baltic Sea is facing a multitude of marine and environmental challenges that have inhibited progress

illegal fishing and managing relations with neighboring countries’ fishermen were other objectives of the visit. A primary concern is the safety of fishermen especially after the recent seizure of boats by Libyan militias. The delegation will meet the owner of the boat Medinea which was seized by a Libyan militia in 2020. The seizure of the Medinea resulted in the imprisonment of 18 fishermen. Managing relations with Libya is becoming an issue of increasing importance as Libya has been illegally extending their control into international waters. countries will attend the conference representing fishing companies, exporters, importers, canned tuna packers, governmental and non-governmental organizations among other industry stakeholders. The exhibition side of the conference will include 40 booths from companies and organizations. The conference itself features 49 speakers. Topics on the programme include IUU fishing, trade and market access issues, social accountability, fishery improvement products, sustainability efforts, and future developments in tuna farming. The tuna industry has been a consistent example of resilience, adaptation, and development of new technologies as it evolves, and this conference presents a forum to discuss strategies used to mitigate the challenge that the last year has presented and allow attendees to learn from each other.

in sustainable yields and fishing practices. Eutrophication of the sea has hindered normal growth and recovery of marine specie’s and is proving to be a sustainability problem in addition to exceeded fishing limits. This has caused significant decreases in the quantity of fish, size of fish, and quantity of stocks. The report called for enforcement of catch limits and freeze capacity to continue to improve the sustainability of the yields in the Mediterranean and the Baltic.

The Mediterranean still faces significant obstacles surrounding sustainable fishing

Italian fisherman face significant challenges regarding sustainability of stocks and safety.

Hungary: Profitability of aquaculture sector hit by rising raw material prices

On 25-26 May 2022, the Research Center for Fisheries and Aquaculture (HAKI) of the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE) organized its 46th annual National Scientific Conference on Aquaculture and Fisheries in Szarvas, Hungary. The conference discussed scientific results and an International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) celebration took place. The event provided a good opportunity to raise awareness on the problems of small-scale farmers and to strengthen the social acceptance of national sustainable aquaculture. The focus was on the global potential of aquaculture development, which was introduced by international and Hungarian experts. As part of the celebration of the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture, Haydar Fersoy, FAO Subregional Office for Central Asia, gave a presentation on the objectives and global action plan of the initiative which are draw the attention of governments and the public to make policy decisions that are essential for small-scale fisheries. Javier Ojeda, the general secretary of the Federation of European Aquaculture Producers (FEAP), gave a presentation on the role of FEAP in advocating for European aquaculture. Sándor Szentpéteri, deputy state secretary at the Ministry of Agriculture of Hungary, spoke about the importance of aquaculture in Hungarian agriculture. Thereafter, István Németh, president of the Hungarian Aquaculture and Fisheries Inter-branch Organisation (MA-HAL), spoke about the results of Hungarian aquaculture, the role of pond aquaculture in maintaining natural value, and the dynamic development of intensive aquaculture. He spoke about the opportunities for Hungarian aquaculture related to the European Green Deal while emphasizing the difficulties of the sector, which are mainly due to the critically low level of profitability caused by rising raw material prices. In recent years, global aquaculture has also faced significant challenges both economically and in terms of sustainability. Yuan Xinhua, senior aquaculture officer, FAO, gave a presentation on the subject and objectives of the Shanghai declaration. To conclude the conference, László Váradi, president of the Hungarian Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Platform (HUNATIP), highlighted the most important messages of the conference and their European relevance. The focus of the conference was sustainable aquaculture and was intended to bring attention to the significant challenges that global aquaculture has faced economically and in terms of sustainability.

Turkey: National fishery production increases by 1.8%

On 2 June, the Turkish Statistical Institute released its statistics on fishery products for Turkey in 2021. The total fishery production saw a 1.8 increase from 2020 to 2021 with a total of 799,851 tons of fishery products. Of this, 59 of these products were farmed while 32.8 were sea fish, 4.1 were other sea products and 41 were inland products. Aquaculture production was the primary factor for the overall increase in fishery products. Capture products declined 10 from 2020 to 2021 to reach 262,297 tons with the primary species being anchovy, followed by sprat and then horse mackerel. Inland fish capture had a 0.1 increase in production. Aquaculture had a 11.9 increase in fish products. The data for the fish products survey is collected monthly for large scale fishing operations and seasonally for small scale operations.

Anchovies were Turkey’s largest export in 2021.

Spain furthest in recognizing women in fisheries and aquaculture

On International Women’s Day, 8 March 2022, the International Organization for Women in the Seafood Industry published their WATCH report. The WATCH report provides a summary of achievements in gender and seafood related news from 2021. The report identified 200 different stories from 60 countries, and Spain stood out as a country that is committed to recognizing the stories of women in fisheries and aquaculture in 2021. The report highlighted the appointment of Maria del Carmen Navas Guerrero to Vice President of the National Federation of Fisherman’s Guilds. Carmen Navas is the first female to be appointed to the vice-presidency and is a symbol for women in leadership roles and increasing gender equality in fisheries. In a different story, the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Sustainable Development of the Junta de Andalucía, Carmen Crespo, and the president of the Andalusian Association of Women in the Fishing Sector signed an agreement which emphasized giving women visibility in the fishing sector, promoting specific training for women on new aquaculture technologies, and resources to improve their position in the industry. This agreement is an important step in the recognition of the value of women in the workforce and in the fish sector. Additionally, the municipality, Tarifa, dedicated one of its street names to the females who worked in the canning factories and docks which helped build the industry in the city. The street was named: “Las Estibadoras de conserveras”. Finally, the Spanish-based nonprofit, National Association of Women in Fisheries (Anmupesca) was awarded the thirdplace prize for excellence in innovation in fishing and aquaculture activity by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. The nonprofit works to defend the economic and professional interests of women in the fisheries sector and they currently recognize 15,000 professionals. These are just a few highlights from the WATCH report; however, these are important examples of how Spain extensively celebrated and encouraged women in the aquaculture industry in 2021.
