Deputy EMEA editor Dan Gibson brings you a roundup of the main stories from the previous week     

Headlines were understandably dominated last week by the announcement of the final determination in the US Department of Commerce's antidumping duties (AD) for frozen warmwater shrimp, a decision that saw Ecuador's Songa and Industrial Pesquera Santa Priscila vindicated by AD rates of 0.0% and 0.48%, respectively.

In contrast, Indian exporters were not so lucky with regards to countervailing duties (CVD), as exporters were issued subsidy rates ranging from 3.57% to 4.41%, while duties were also confirmed for exporters from Indonesia and Vietnam.

Most of last week's other major headlines were all centered around the annual conference of the Marine Ingredients Organisation (IFFO) in Lisbon, Portugal, and the simultaneous Responsible Seafood Summit, organized by the Global Seafood Alliance (GSA) in St. Andrews, Scotland.

The former event took place against the backdrop of Peru's second-season anchovy quota announcement, which was set at 2.51 million metric tons, well in excess of initial expectations.

Then, in Scotland, Rabobank analyst Gorjan Nikolik gave the bank's detailed forecast for next year's farmed shrimp supplies from each of the world's largest producing nations. The broad picture was one of steadily plateauing growth over the next two years as the sector's bullish expansion looks set to slow down in the face of reduced global demand.
