A sea change for Montauk menus, as fishing families work to cut out the middlemen

Newsday

Before a piece of seafood touches a diner’s plate, its journey may span thousands of miles — whether it's salmon caught off Alaska or farmed tilapia from China. Even fresh catch hauled off Montauk can ride a circuitous route back to an East End restaurant. Hoping to shorten that journey, six Montauk fishing families have partnered on a venture to eliminate the industry's middlemen. The fisheries are offering fresh catch to restaurants as part of a growing 'sea-to-table' movement that is upending traditional supply chain norms. By Joe Werkmeister

Aquaculture could harm animal welfare or protect it, depending on what species the farms raise

The Conversation

The rapid growth in aquaculture means that billions of individual aquatic animals are now being farmed without basic information that could help ensure even minimal welfare standards. Our newly published study shows that these welfare risks are not uniform: Aquaculture is likely to have severe effects on welfare for some species, but negligible impacts on others.

Blue Empire

Feedback

This report exposes how the expansion of the Norwegian salmon farming industry has come at the expense of communities and fish populations in the Global South. While salmon producers tout their sustainability credentials, the industry’s inefficient and wasteful use of finite natural resources is driving the loss of livelihoods and exacerbating malnutrition in nations including The Gambia, Senegal and Mauritania. We argue that the Norwegian salmon industry is not so much leading a ‘blue revolution’ as establishing a ‘blue empire’.
