Food safety and the depletion of fish stocks will remain key challenges for Asian seafood producers, according to Rabobank International. The country has more than 20,000 shrimp farms, and enjoys a solid advantage in terms of competitive prices, product quality and canning processes. Thailand is the world's third largest exporter of seafood after China and Norway, and is a leading producer of shrimp and tuna. While complying with safety standards may result in higher production costs, Mr...

Water releases for farming are likely to continue jeopardizing the three fish species, the federal Bureau of Reclamation reported last week in an assessment of irrigation operations through 2017. Water from the lake then will rush through the gaps to flood wetlands lost 50 years ago when the Williamson River delta was drained for farming. In a severe drought several years ago, the lake level fell so low that water managers had to cut off the flow to farmers to protect the fish. He says...

His plan is to fish offshore through at least the second week in November if the fish are within range. Despite what you may have heard, fishing is still going strong.

They will start striper fishing targeting the bigger stripers (20-50 pounds plus) up the Delaware Bay chunking bunker around Nov. I heard from readers who...

The episode peaked on Tuesday, when nearly 250,000 shad showed up at the pumps so many that instead of trucking them all back to the Delta many of the fish had to be buried. And each year, millions of the fish are trapped in collection buckets before they would otherwise be ground up at the federal pumps near Tracy and at larger, state-owned pumps two miles away. Still, the episode raised anxieties because threadfin shad, though still relatively common, are among the fish that have...

From the air, the trio served as spotters for such vessels, helping them catch surface schools of pogies, or menhaden, and bluebacks - non-edible industrial fish along the coast. The Gloucester men talk about how they got started with this unique job, their routines when they were flying and how their fish-spotting came to an end. Mast headsmen then did the jobs Gray and the Calomos did later, scouting for schools of fish from crow's nests atop their vessels' masts, and brawny crews hauled...

But you need to be able to put that in context; farm-raised catfish, for example, is a sustainable wonder, while farm-raised salmon (with the exception of a few "artisan" farms) is not. Be informed: Fish sold in the United States must have a country-of-origin label, and many reputable fish markets can now tell you where and how the fish was captured or cultured, and whether it is wild or farmed. We worry about the byproducts of bad fisheries management or farming, including mercury,...

The drenching downpours late last week provided some relief, but it's scant at best, and experts say Robeson County needs 10 days of soakers for any real relief. The Robesonian Online The Robesonian.
