EMEA editor Neil Ramsden brings you a roundup of the main stories from the previous week
Last week, Undercurrent News' team reported live from the China Fisheries and Seafood Exhibition held at the Hongdao International Convention and Exhibition Center in Qingdao. You can recap the entire blog here.
Late last week, the Norwegian fisheries directorate confirmed a cut of 25% to the Atlantic (or northeast Arctic) cod quota it shares with Russia for next year, setting a total allowable catch in the Barents Sea of 340,000 metric tons. Haddock and Greenland halibut quotas were also reduced, while there will be no capelin fishing in the region next year.
And Canadian lawmakers have delivered a report that calls on fisheries managers in Canada and the US to begin negotiations to end salmon bycatch in Alaska's commercial fishery. The recommendation is just one of the 37 outlined in the report by Canada's House of Commons Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans.
