The Scottish Pelagic Sustainability Group (SPSG) North Sea herring fishery has been certified as a sustainable and well-managed fishery under the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standard. The herring fishery is the first Scottish pelagic fishery to be certified and, with half a dozen local processors already holding MSC’s Chain of Custody traceability certification, consumers across Europe will soon be able to buy Scottish herring and herring products bearing the coveted MSC eco-label....

NOAA’s Fisheries Service has approved the use of new trawl gear that is expected to reduce the catch of nontarget fish species in the Northeastern groundfish fishery by more than 50 percent. The use of the “haddock rope trawl,” commonly known as the eliminator trawl by the Northeast commercial groundfish fishing industry, should help conserve and restore depleted groundfish resources, such as cod and flounders, while allowing vessels to target haddock and other healthier...

The steep rise in fuel prices is creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to innovate and discover new low-cost feedstocks for biofuels production. Neptune Industries, a Florida company, is looking to collect waste generated byits fish farming operation to fertilize algae production for biodiesel feedstocks. While in the minds of many Americans Florida is beaches, Disney World and Cape Canaveral, in reality it is one of the nation’s agricultural powerhouses. Biofuels pioneers are looking...

Blue catfish are getting renewed attention and unprecedented interagency cooperation by scientists in charge of monitoring it. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) introduced the Mississippi native into the three primary rivers of the Commonwealth back in the early 80's as a sport fishing delight. The state record for one caught since then is 95 pounds. Scientists admit that it has proliferated wildly and that it will eat virtually anything, including...

Study eliminates a long-lingering challenge to the theory of evolution through natural selection A newly identified fossil and the reinterpretation of previously known fossils, all from Europe and about 50 million years old, fill in a "missing link" in the evolution of flatfishes and explain one of nature's most extraordinary phenomena. All living flatfishes, which include halibut, flounder and sole, have a bizarre structural...

Eating tilapia, an increasingly popular fish in the South, may be risky for people with inflammatory conditions such as heart disease, according to researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. The researchers reported yesterday that farm-raised tilapia -- the fifth most popular fish consumed in the United States --has very low levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. "Perhaps worse, it contains very high levels of omega-6 fatty acids," the researchers...

Damming of the Colorado River over the last century, alongside introduction of game fish species, has led to an extensive decline in numbers of native fish whilst introduced species have flourished. Scientists have found that physical changes which occur to a river when it is dammed have had an adverse effect only on native fish, due to differences in their life histories. Armed with this knowledge, they have made proposals to management agencies, which, if implemented, could reverse the loss...

Surprises Found in Environments Just Miles Apart From the surface, the two areas of ocean off the coasts of northern New Jersey and Long Island, New York look the same. But to NOAA scientists, the four-square-mile patches could not be more different as they view real-time underwater images and environmental data to try to figure out what lives there and how climate change is affecting marine life, especially very young fish. “These areas are much more dynamic than...

An aquaculture company has used artificial flavorings to give its farmed fish the taste of wild-caught pollock. "It met 10 out of our 10 taste parameters," said Norbert Sporns, president and chief executive officer of HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries (HQSM). HQSM has signed a joint development agreement with the Beijing division of Newly Weds Foods Inc. to market the "sea flavor" tilapia, which is processed to give it both the texture and flavor of...

Ecologists warn that the most destructive form of fishing is becoming more prevalent, with potentially disastrous consequences for ocean life. "Industrial fisheries are now going thousands of miles, thousands of feet deep and catching things that live hundreds of years in the least protected place on Earth," said Elliott Norse, president of Marine Conservation Biology Institute. "They are roving bandits using state of the art technologies to plunder." In...

Chile’s National Fishing Service (SERNAPESCA) confirmed this week that the Region XII facility found last month to be infected with Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) belongs to industry leader Marine Harvest, a Norwegian-owned company. ISA is a highly contagious virus that can be lethal to fish but does not affect humans. Since being detected in Chilean waters last July, the spreading illness has contributed to a significant industry slowdown, particularly in Region X. In an...

Scientists at the University of Minnesota have found that some of the potentially harmful bacteria in the Duluth-Superior Harbor come from an unlikely source: the fishes. It's not the fishes' fault, though. They are just carrying around bacteria that are already in their environment. University of Minnesota researchers Dennis Hansen, John Clark, Satoshi Ishii, Michael Sadowsky, and Randall Hicks are the first to discover the sources of E. coli (Escherichia coli) in several species of...

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Improving farmed fish quality and safety" report to their offering. Global aquaculture production has grown rapidly over the last 50 years. It is generally accepted that there is limited potential to increase traditional fisheries since most fish stocks are well or fully exploited. Consequently increased aquaculture production is required in order to maintain global per capita fish consumption at the present level. Fish farming...

Seafood is bountiful in Nova Scotia and, with the addition of an innovative new technology, the province’s aquaculture industry may soon be swimming with the big fish. Summerville in Hants County is now home to the area’s first rural land-based aquaculture facility conditioned to grow warm-water fish with eco-friendly technology. In what the government has referred to as a “bold new approach,” Sustainable Fish Farming Canada Limited (SFFC), under the direction of Dr. Jeremy Lee,...

Put the fish where we can see it! That is the verdict from young adults and families with young children. Young people and young families all eat significantly less fish than their elders. The MmmmmSeafood project started to work with this problem, and have interviewed young adults and families with children that eat little fish. The members of these focus groups say that they want to eat more fish. They know about the health benefits, but they want to have easier access to fish...

With all the background noise about rising food prices and food security it's no surprise that the idea of the vertical farm is getting another airing. It was first proposed five years ago by a team at Columbia University. As they pointed out, the practice of hauling vast amounts of food from the countryside to cities – then shifting similar amounts of organic waste back the other way – seems pretty half baked. With oil at $140 a barrel it looks doubly so. On the vertical farm the...

CSIRO has released a national overview of climate change impacts and adaptation options for Australian agriculture and aquaculture. Bringing together the latest science from research groups around Australia, the report includes chapters on each of Australia’s major agricultural sectors, with a focus on steps that can be taken to adjust to the ongoing changes in our climate. Speaking to the Farm Writers Association of NSW in Sydney today, co-editor of the report, CSIRO scientist Dr...
