The global seafood industry is facing challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with decreased foodservice demand and supply chain disruptions. Notably, an outbreak at Pacific Seafood Group's facilities on the US West Coast has led to 124 cases among employees and contractors. Meanwhile, concerns have been raised about the potential impact of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration's decision to cancel stock assessment surveys on biomass estimates. In Vietnam, the seafood export trade association remains optimistic despite a 25% drop in farmgate prices for vannamei shrimp. Meanwhile, French fishing firm Sapmer is seeking to sell its Manapany vessel due to decreased prices for tuna, and Oceana Group reports a resilient first half of its financial year, anticipating stability in the months ahead.
