Welcome to this week's newsletter
The long-awaited EU Commission’s strategy on sustainable fish and shellfish farming in Europe was released this week. The strategy hopes to bring a fresh revival to what has been described as a "stagnant" situation for European aquaculture. Joe Borg, Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries said that it was time to give this "strategically important sector" an "equal voice, and – quite literally – the place it needs to develop”.
In contrast, market prospects for farmed salmon raised in Canada's aquaculture centre - British Columbia - were looking very healthy. A market report said that the industry was well positioned to hold the five per cent share of world production that it earned in 2008.
