Sturgeon farmers producing fish for caviar would benefit hugely from a molecular-biological sex test for juvenile and adolescent sturgeons. Early sexual identification can significantly decrease production costs by increasing the number of females for caviar production while maintaining a balance of male animals for meat production and for use as brood stock. Additional advantages from the genomic analysis to determine sex could be the identification of genes implicated in growth, meat production, or egg quality (caviar) which opens the door for improvements in these areas. Currently, the normal male to female ratio in production facilities is approximately 1:1 through natural selection. If an early sex test is available, then this ratio could be manipulated to favour the production of either caviar or meat.

Reduce, reuse or recycle properly This article was featured in EUROFISH Magazine 2 2021. A world without packaging is nothing but a pipe dream, since there is hardly a single product that can be produced, transported and handled completely unpackaged.

A voice for Denmark’s fishermen This article was featured in EUROFISH Magazine 2 2021. Danish fisheries contributed some DKK14bn (EUR1.8bn) in 2018 to the nation’s GDP. The sector is an important source of export earnings as well as of livelihoods in coastal communities. The Danish Fishermen Producer Organisation (DFPO) is the national organisation representing the fisheries sector through some 32 local associations across the country.

Global growth in processed fish products This article was featured in EUROFISH Magazine 2 2021. Fish is a highly perishable food. Safeguarding its quality and nutritional value and avoiding damage, unnecessary waste and premature spoilage requires special efforts. For this reason, there has been an ongoing effort across the globe to extend the shelf life of sensitive raw products with suitable processing and preservation methods to further diversify the range of fish products on offer and to make these products more convenient.

A Hungarian government owned company is responsible for managing fish stocks in Lake Balaton This article was featured in EUROFISH Magazine 2 2021. Hungary’s Lake Balaton is the largest freshwater lake in central Europe with an area of 600 sq. km and a length of 78 km. It is a popular tourist destination not least for anglers because of the recreational fishing opportunities it offers. Commercial fishing on the lake stopped in 2013 and in the rest of the country in 2016. Lake Balaton is an important destination for tourists and the local population for all kinds of water related activities such as bathing, sailing, and health spas. The lake is also a favoured destination for Hungarian sport fishers who number some 700,000 people (out of a population of 10m). They target a variety of species including perch, asp, catfish, pike, and common carp.
