The growing demand for aquaculture products has put more pressure than ever on the forage fish used to feed certain farmed species. These small fish serve as a crucial component of aquaculture feeds and play a key role in maintaining healthy and diverse marine ecosystems as essential food sources for seabirds, whales, seals, and other important ocean predators. Traditional fisheries management often overlooks the broader ecosystem role of these

It is a dynamic time for regulatory changes and issues impacting seafood importers and exporters. Peter Quintar and Sergio Lozano will help the audience understand what is changing and the impact of issues including: the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) ruling request process, forced labor enforcement by CBP related to seafood, FDA Imports Alerts for seafood companies and how foreign companies may be removed from an Import Alert, the recent

Visual inspection for quality and food safety is critical to the seafood industry. Whether its raw material, finished product, packaging or labelling, visual inspection happens throughout the supply chain. It’s typically random sampling, labour intensive and prone to human error. Does AI—especially computer vision technology—offer a solution to automate, standardize and radically improve inspection? Can you imagine taking a

Tuna is one of the most-fished and least-monitored commodities in the world. It is the foundation of a fishing industry that covers three times the area of land-based farming and helps the three billion people worldwide who depend on fish for protein. While global tuna stocks are considered relatively stable—with 11 percent classified as overfished in 2023—tuna fisheries are responsible for some of the highest rates of marine

The pandemic-inspired seafood growth spurt of 2020-2 has largely flat lined, widely attributed to a decrease in consumer discretionary spending — of which seafood often finds itself included — with one exception. “Value-added” products, e.g. case-ready/prepared seafood, continues to make inroads with modern consumers based on perceptions of both product consistency and value.

Studies show that consumers tend to perceive

Join us for an essential webinar, “Navigating Traceability and Tariffs: Preparing Your Seafood Business for FSMA 204”, where we’ll take a deep dive into the critical issues impacting seafood processors today. As FSMA 204 regulations loom large, understanding the nuances of traceability and tariffs will be key to staying compliant and competitive.

This session is designed to help seafood businesses not only meet regulatory

A major challenge for the seafood industry moving forward will be responsible ingredient sourcing for aqua feed. As concerns regarding raw material sourcing for aquaculture feed continue to grow, farms and feed mills increasingly need sustainable sources of raw material. In recent times, there has been a rise in demand for raw fish material (particularly when processed into fishmeal and fish oil) which is crucial for aquaculture feed because it

While FSMA is all anyone can talk about right now, the challenges of traceability are a tale as old as time. Seafood companies are always striving to find the balance between satisfying extensive traceability requests and audits from government agencies, certification bodies, and large retailers and maintaining an efficient, low-cost operation. Many companies have been able to keep up using home grown systems or paper records, but the

Food safety concerns in the seafood industry, particularly regarding pathogens like Vibrio and the labor-intensive nature of shellfish processing, have processors searching for innovative solutions. High Pressure Processing (HPP) offers an approach that addresses both safety concerns and operational efficiency challenges while maintaining product quality and freshness.

In this webinar, we will provide a comprehensive overview of HPP technology
