Another sign of the neccecity to mitigate the #climatechange and to chose the #landbased #aquaculture for the 2 reasons: 1. to manage the farming risks 2. to left the ecosystems free of the human effects

Chile's National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (Servicio Nacional de Pesca y Acuicultura - Sernapesca) related the #massive #salmonid #mortality to the presence of #harmful #algae #bloom but ruled out #red #tide and dissociated it from the #ElNiño phenomenon. 🇨🇱🌊🌿❗🐟 📌 Up to 13 salmon farms in the #Reloncavi estuary area, #LosLagos region, reported the activation of the #contingency #plan for #HABs. 📌Later, just 7 of them also activated their contingency plan for massive mortality associated with the presence of #microalgae. 📌 Finally, after analyzing all the information, #Sernapesca determined that only 2 of them were actually in this condition. 🗣️ "Up to the minute, the situation is being addressed normally through the capabilities available to the holders of the affected facilities to deal with this type of event," Cristian Hudson, Regional Director of Sernapesca Los Lagos. 🗣️ "The available information does not allow linking this bloom with the El Niño event that is currently affecting the north of our country," Dr. Leonardo Guzmán Méndez, Chilean Fisheries Development Institute (IFOP). 🟣🔵 Read full details here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dKcEnP_T

The respect of human and labour rights is key, this is one of the many reasons the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division is developing the #FAOGuidance on #SocialResponsiblity in the Fisheries and Aquaculture Value Chains, to improve decent working conditions in the sector.

Chile's National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (Servicio Nacional de Pesca y Acuicultura - Sernapesca) reported the #massive #salmonid #mortality event from a #harmful #algal #bloom (HABs) in the #Reloncavi estuary, #LosLagos, #Chile, now affects the Salmonid Concession Grouping N°2. 🇨🇱🌊🌿❗🐟 📌 Nearly 40% of ACS Nº2 #farms are #affected by #HABs and two of them also by mortality.  📌 There are 913.5 tons of #fish #dead by now of which 898.8 tons have already been removed. 📌 Farms continue to report #microalgae and #irregular fish #behavior. 🟣🔵 Read full details here 👉 https://lnkd.in/djQ_JkhZ

Chile's National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (Servicio Nacional de Pesca y Acuicultura - Sernapesca) reported that 100% of the 1,500 tons of fish affected by #massive #salmonid #mortality in the Reloncavi estuary have been removed. 🇨🇱🌊🌿❗🐟 📌 Other #facts: 🔹 #Fish #farms affected by #massive #mortalities have risen from 7 to 9.  🔹 #Dead #fish have transferred to #processing #plants for the production of #fishmeal. 🔹 Concentration levels of #toxic #microalgae causing the catastrophe have #decreased. 📌 #Sernapesca says the #response has been more #efficient than on previous occasions, but warns:  🗣️ "We must be cautious and continue to improve the procedure to be prepared for events of greater magnitude that may eventually occur," Soledad Tapia Almonacid, National Director of Sernapesca. 🟣🔵 Read full details here 👉 https://lnkd.in/duXsyws3

📢 The International Conference "The Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector - Ways to a Circular Economy" 📢 will be held in Madrid, Spain, on 25-26 September 2024. Organized by Eurofish in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Spain, the conference will explore the potential within fisheries and aquaculture to adopt circular economy practices. The topics have been grouped into three sessions: Decarbonisation of the fishing fleet; Side- and waste streams within aquaculture; and Side- and waste streams within fisheries. Experts from several countries will address the audience offering new ideas, good practices, and solutions for the future. The conference will include participants from Spain and many other European countries, from the European Commission, FAO/GFCM, countries in the Black Sea region, the Caucasus, and Central Asia representing government institutions, civil society, the private sector, and intergovernmental organisations. Participation is free. To register, please follow the link: https://lnkd.in/dRNA2mpD #eurofishint #fisheries #aquaculture #circulareconomy #Spain

The opportunity to address the Webinar about the Energy Transition of the EU Fisheries & Aquaculture Sector from BlueInvest, a project of the European Commission, was really important to understand the difficulties and the work that has been done by the different stakeholders in the Blue Economy sector to act together to create innovative solutions for a sustainable blue economy related to this topic. 🌊🐟
