Editorial - Signs of Confidence Return to Chile's Salmon Industry Following the near-collapse of the Chilean salmon industry as the result of infectious salmon anaemia, local reports are emerging indicating the first signs of its recovery as entrepreneurs invest again in the sector. For example, Pesquera Landes entered the field last week by acquiring Providencia Fish Farms, and the former chairman of Mainstream Chile, Francisco Ariztía, and his partner, Fernando Toro, have created Salmones Sur Austral, which is to operate eight farming centres and produce about 5,000 tons of fish by as soon as next year. It is hoped that the new enthusiasm and investment are not premature, and that the industry does not suffer again from future disease or market problems arising from over-development. Food producers and processors are often herd to complain about over-regulation in their industry. But in the last week, US seafood and catfish industries have been calling on the USDA to introduce greater regulation – although this is aimed to protect domestic producers from imports that are allegedly either incorrectly weighed or contain hazardous chemicals.
