Intensive Farming of Carnivorous Fish Relying on West Africa Fishmeal Must Be Stopped

CFFA

FAO’s vision for aquaculture is clearly presented in its “Blue Transformation roadmap”: the objective is the “intensification and expansion of sustainable aquaculture,” so that it “continues to meet the global demand for aquatic foods.” The FAO Guidelines should include the considerations of those stakeholders that are currently facing the negative impacts of unsustainable aquaculture, and are looking at alternative models of small-scale aquaculture. The GSA, instead of feeding over-optimism, would benefit from openly addressing the points of contention which were the reason of drafting the guidelines in the first place.

Policy options for strengthening the competitiveness of the EU fisheries & aquaculture sector

European Parliament

The EU fisheries and aquaculture products (FAPs) market is largely dependent on external producers. Some of the imports entering the EU market come from countries with lenient regulations. This study gives an overview on existing competitiveness indicators. It shows main trends in the EU’s FAPs supply through extra-EU imports and identifies the main internal and external factors affecting the sector’s competitiveness. The research presents four case studies and an assessment of options for adaptations to the internal and external policy framework. Finally, it provides a series of recommendations for strengthening the competitiveness of the EU fisheries and aquaculture sector in the future.
