The New Salmon Run, In the Test Tube

October 21, 2010

Analysis of:FDA refuses to require labeling of genetically modified salmon | info-wars.org

Salmon as a GMO, how does one decide if it is safe to eat, safe for the environment and safe for other salmon. We could listen to the manufacturer, but really they are trying to sell the fish, and much more. How about the FDA, even they retuse to rule on this.

Sobeys And The Seafood Sustainability Issue

October 14, 2010

Analysis of:Sobeys Inc. Commits to Seafood Sustainability: "Fix the Worst First" | www.marketwatch.com

As a great follow up to recent comments on tuna, look what happens, "fix the worst first" appears, what a concept. The sustainability issue in seafood is front and center in many consumers minds. And some of the retailers are indeed paying attention. Sobeys is attempting to solve one of the big questions we all face, who do you trust and believe in of the multitude of certifying agencies, as well as what species needs the most attention.

Blue Fin Tuna, BP's Expanding Environmental Portfolio, And Sustainability

October 13, 2010

Analysis of:NMFS to decide whether to give bluefin endangered status | fis.com

It has yet to be confirmed, but here is another potential "feather" in BP's ever expanding environmental portfolio. The article also adds confusion to the debate. BP certainly did not "over fish" the species, but has it added the final blow?

Seafood, Overfishing And The Governments That Support It.

September 16, 2010

Analysis of:World pays high price for overfishing, studies say | uk.reuters.com

An interesting look at a different view on overfishing and the continued need for sustainability. The article opens up a potential discussion that focuses on the need for governments' subsidies to be curbed in order to help curtail overfishing. A point of view, backed up by monetary facts, that should help drive industry leaders into the ever growing sustainable dialog.

Worldwide Sustainable Seafood, Is It An Oxymoron

September 7, 2010

Analysis of:Seafood News Environment & Sustainability | www.seafoodsource.com

We see MSC, GAP, WWF, GAA, ASC, NOP, and the list goes on. These are but a few of the certifiers that the industry relies on to get their sustainable message out. How does the Seafood Industry forge ahead with public credibility when the industry cannot come to an agreement on what is sustainable and who, whom or what should be the best group to do so. Not just in the USA but worldwide. I think the Seafood Industry needs a clear, concise and credible voice to the public.

Gulf Facts About Seafood, as Reported by Our Government, Fact or Fiction

September 3, 2010

Analysis of:Top Democrat Criticizes U.S. Oil Spill Report | online.wsj.com

How can we gauge the health of the Gulf and is effects, short and long term, on the seafood it contains when we can not trust the Government agencies to get out the truth on the spill?

The Continuing Gulf Seafood Crisis, And It's Not About Oil

August 31, 2010

Analysis of:Minnesota farmer battles Gulf 'dead zone' | www.cnn.com

The seafood industry continues to focus it's attention on the BP spill and its effects on sea life and water quality. But in the short term, we all tend to forget about the dead zone in the Gulf the size of New Jersey.

The Gulf, BP, And the World's Seafood

August 24, 2010

Analysis of:Top Democrat Criticizes U.S. Oil Spill Report - WSJ.com | online.wsj.com

How can we gauge the health of the Gulf and is effects, short and long term, on the seafood it contains when we can not trust the Government agencies to get out the truth on the spill?

The New Wave; Sustainability, Fisheries And Your Local Supermarket

August 22, 2010

Analysis of:Another US grocery giant demands seafood sustainability | www.fishfarmingxpert.com

There is a movement in the supermarkets, and I do not mean the specials of the week. We are seeing a surprising amount of supermarkets insisting, no, requiring all their seafood now must be from sustainable means. That is from fisheries and aquaculture alike.

Fish Farming, Aquaculture And The Boom

June 24, 2010

Analysis of:A fish tale: Aquaculture set to boom | www.msnbc.msn.com

"As population grows, so will fish farming", so says the article, and it is apparent by all measures that this statement is quite accurate. The Croatian farm highlighted gives us some insightful observations into a world population in need of an ever expanding volume of food products and basic protein.

Aquaculture And The Open-Ocean Option

June 5, 2010

Analysis of:Fish farms don't explode | www.seafoodsource.com

The referenced article again brings into focus how shortsighted some government officials can be when it comes to aquaculture and the options it presents. The industry must continue expansion so as to satisfy our ever growing fishery needs. How one senator can be so ill informed and have obviously made decisions based on a narrow opinion toward an industry that must develop, is unfortunate to say the least.

BP and the US Government Are Killing the Gulf

June 1, 2010

Analysis of:Gulf oil spill may run until August | fis.com

"US Government and BP officials have warned that the exploded oil well spewing unprecedented amounts of oil into the Gulf of Mexico may not be stopped until August."What? How can we just accept this outrageous statement. Oh, we tried, it did not work................to bad.

Where Is The Outrage toward BP From Seafood and Fisheries

May 19, 2010

We read daily about the failures of BP to stem the tide of the horrific oil spill, and we see story after story about the seafood industry participants going bankrupt. Where are the watch dog agencies, the nature conservationalists and government agencies? Why do we not have Greenpeace steaming their ships into the Gulf in protest. We are watching the entire Gulf coastal producing regions suffering what may be a death blow, and yet it is the quietest catastrophe in recent memory.

US Fisheries Are Showing Sustainability Efforts are Working

May 12, 2010

In a recently released report on the state of the USA fisheries, our combined efforts are showing great results. NOAA's report card for 2009 is in and we have received good marks, not great but far better that one thought possible not but a short time ago. Now the efforts need to continue as well as we must get the other world fisheries regulators and industry leaders to follow our example.

BP Disaster Illustrates Our Need for More Aquaculture Facilities

May 4, 2010

This may be a stretch, but how better to illustrate our tenuous grip on our ocean food supply than the latest disaster in the Gulf.  The severity and cost is yet to be determined, as is the disruption that we are already starting to see in our seafood supply. The price of seafood just went up.

Farmed Salmon Faces Difficult Years Ahead

April 7, 2010

The farmed salmon industry faces many challenges in the next 2 years, 2010 being the most critical. With diseases still yet to be controlled in Chile, and the sea lice problems in Norway and Scotland now appearing, not to mention the government of Chile's insistence on become more involved, 2010 may be the year that either sees the industry coming through these difficult times or loosing much of its production in the years ahead.

Scarce Fish Are Much More Profitable

March 25, 2010

Analysis of:Bluefin tuna loses out simply because scarce fish make a profit | www.guardian.co.uk

We are truly in trouble if this becomes the accepted way of preserving the habitat in our oceans. In the recent action regarding bluefin tuna, we see money is king. We know that to be true in most all things, but we should be living with checks and balances that at least attempt to insure some sustainability in our oceans. I thought we were.

Ocean Troubles Continue, Have You Seen These Guys

February 10, 2010

Analysis of:Monkfish tagged for migration research | fis.com

Monkfish, really. Is this what it is coming down to. This is the fish that you don't quite know your eating, but we are. As we must go deeper in our oceans to produce products for the consumer, the fish get strange. Put down you cod sandwich and grab a monkfish.

Just When We Want To Eat More Healthy Fish, They Change The Rules

January 30, 2010

Analysis of:Fishing for facts | www.boston.com

Good for your health and good for the environment, it becomes increasingly difficult to choose. We have a myriad of "agencies" telling us and reporting all these nebulous factors. But who is correct. And more importantly, who is industry sponsored and driven, and who is trying legitimately to look out for you, me and the future of an entire words fish population.
