Capture 2 Vietnamese Vessels, Indonesian Ministry Of Marine Affairs And Fisheries Saves State Losses Of IDR 152 Billion
Two illegal fish thieves from Vietnam present evidence of stolen fish while being escorted by Indonesian KKP officers in Batam, Indonesia, on April 18, 2025. The potential state loss from the illegal activity reaches 152.8 billion rupiah. Approximately 4,500 kilograms of mixed fish cargo are stolen from the inspection of two ships, involving 30 crew members from Vietnam.
The Director General of Marine Resources and Fisheries Supervision (PSDKP), Pung Nugroho Saksono (Ipunk), states that the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries ensures the state's presence in this case to protect the North Natuna Sea from fish theft.
According to Ipunk's statement, the two foreign fishing vessels with hull names 936 TS (135 GT) and 5762 TS (150 GT) are supervised by the ORCA 03 Surveillance Vessel captained by Mohammad Ma'ruf in the Republic of Indonesia State Fisheries Management Area (WPPNRI) 711 North Natuna Sea on April 14, 2025.

A growing appetite for jellyfish promised a boom for fishers in Honduras. But then the storms came
A decade after Chinese investment, La Mosquitia's processing plant is sitting idle and jobs have been lost as the climate crisis takes its toll.
The jellyfish's vulnerability to changes in climate makes harvesting possible only during the predominantly sunny seasons, which last about three months in Honduras. Extreme weather events frequently reduce or interrupt these windows of opportunity.

Thousands of salmon escaped an Icelandic fish farm. The impact could be deadly
Aquaculture is bringing jobs and money to rural regions, but a huge escape of farmed fish in August could devastate local salmon populations.
Guðmundur Hauker Jakobsson jumps into the River Blanda. Within minutes, he pulls out a 15lb silver fish, which thrashes and writhes against the net, then another, then another - five in all. The wild salmon of the Blanda here in north-west Iceland are some of the largest and most athletic in a country where the rivers are considered among the world's best.
But these, says Jakobsson, are not wild fish.
Sure enough, it has a rounded tail and torn fins: signs of a farmed salmon. He suspects it's a fugitive from an open-net pen where just last month, on 20 August, thousands of fish grown in pens from a Norwegian strain escaped. They have since been found upstream in rivers, endangering the wild salmon population and hitting the headlines in Iceland.
Suspected escapees have now been found in at least 32 rivers across north-west Iceland, according to unconfirmed social media posts, one of which showed fish covered in sea lice, a parasite that can be lethal to wild fish.

Anger over fish stocks as Senegal village mourns boat disaster dead
Grieving relatives and friends of people who died in Cape Verde boat disaster say more will leave unless conditions improve.
Hundreds of motorised canoes decorated with swirls of green, red and blue line the beach of Fass Boye, a small fishing village in northern Senegal. The handpainted boats, known as pirogues, used to return to shore brimming with fish, residents say. But as fish populations began to ebb over the last decade, the boats assumed a new role. Instead of carrying fishers out to sea, now they take them to Spain's Canary Islands in search of economic opportunities.
On 16 August, one such boat that had departed from Fass Boye with 101 people onboard was found drifting off the coast of Cape Verde. It held only 38 survivors.
Fass Boye residents and environmental groups blame the Senegalese government for doling out fishing permits to industrial trawlers from Asia and Europe, which they say are responsible for the decline in fish stocks.

Grieving relatives and friends of people who died in Cape Verde boat disaster say more will leave unless conditions improve.
Hundreds of motorised canoes decorated with swirls of green, red and blue line the beach of Fass Boye, a small fishing village in northern Senegal. The handpainted boats, known as pirogues, used to return to shore brimming with fish, residents say. But as fish populations began to ebb over the last decade, the boats assumed a new role. Instead of carrying fishers out to sea, now they take them to Spain's Canary Islands in search of economic opportunities.
On 16 August, one such boat that had departed from Fass Boye with 101 people onboard was found drifting off the coast of Cape Verde. It held only 38 survivors.
Fass Boye residents and environmental groups blame the Senegalese government for doling out fishing permits to industrial trawlers from Asia and Europe, which they say are responsible for the decline in fish stocks.
