The ministers of Spain and France agreed on the need to reach a "satisfactory agreement" on fisheries, the MAPA highlighted in a press release. For this, they trust that the new Cabinet of the British Prime Minister will show "a greater rapprochement between the United Kingdom and the European Union."

How and why seaweed aquaculture should be promoted in Europe is the subject of a new recommendation from the EU’s Aquaculture Advisory Council.
There is a growing appreciation of the benefits – social, economic and environmental – that seaweed aquaculture can bring about and the new publication sets these out clearly and concisely.
Increased seaweed cultivation in EU waters gives substantial potential for a new source of biomass for food, feed and industrial uses. In addition, the production process provides relevant ecosystem services, such as nutrient and carbon sinks and habitats for marine microlife and fish reproduction.
A new type of cultured seafood may find its way from the laboratory to dinner plates in the next year or two thanks to a $60m financing deal yesterday, involving the pioneering US company BlueNalu.
Based in San Diego, California, BlueNalu is a leader in the development of cellular aquaculture in which living cells are isolated from fish tissue, placed into culture media for proliferation, and then assembled into popular fresh and frozen seafood products.
The arrangement involves both new and existing investors, including leading names in the seafood sector such as Thai Union.

Brazilian soybean suppliers for the salmon industry, CJ Selecta, Caramuru and Imcopa / Cervejaria Petrópolis, will implement a 100% deforestation-free soy value chain. It is a "bold and historic" commitment that sets a new benchmark for sustainable supply chains and is in stark contrast to the large Brazilian soy traders, Mowi explains on his website. The measure affects all seeds that have been planted since August 2020.
