Welcome to this week's newsletter
Stuck for Christmas Presents?
We have 4 new features this week:
Organic Aquaculture: What's in a Label?
Increasing consumer awareness to unsustainable aquaculture practices have made the prospect of organic aquaculture both environmentally and economically fruitful, but strict standards make this goal difficult to achieve. As the US considers by-passing this obstacle with watered-down regulations, the industry must question what these labels really mean, writes Adam Anson, reporting for TheFishSite.
The Special Case of Multifunctional Fish Farms
As well as
being a farm that
produces fish for
food, Aranyponty
- in Magyar, the
Golden Carp -
communicates
the importance of
managing Europe’s
wetland heritage
to society, by
diverse social and
educational activities, says a report in the CONSENSUS brochure: 'Towards Sustainable Aquaculture in Europe'.
European Shrimp Update for November 2008
The gloomy situation with regard to shrimp demand is now also present in the EU, an area which was more positive for shrimp consumption earlier this year, reports FAO Globefish.
The Mexican Market for Seafood Products
Mexico imports over $300 million worth of fish and seafood products every year. In 2006 this included about $150 of fish fillets, $36 million of crustaceans, and $12 of other seafood, says a USDA Foreign Agricultural Service GAIN report.
