Pollock front and center again, despite no one knowing why

November 20, 2009

Analysis by:James Aliucci, President,

Pollock quotas likely to drop again | www.publicbroadcasting.net

The latest prediction on the Total Allowable Catch totals for the USA pollock industry for 2010 appear to be solidly in favor of lowering them once again. This makes Greenpeace happy (not really) but is bad news for the industry as a whole. Jobs will be lost, companies may be headed for continued hard times. Yet most consumers of fish say, so what, I never eat pollock. How wrong they are.

Aquaculture Can Feed The World, Tilapia Is a Big Part Of The Answer

November 9, 2009

Analysis by:James Aliucci, President,

Can Aquaculture Feed the World | blueridgepress.com

We read more and more about aquaculture and how the industry is progressing, and reading about its issues of concern as well. We see that the carnivores of the industry may be more of a problem than a solution. We must work on a better feed to product ratio, but more importantly, we have part of the solution, tilapia culture.

Millions Of Canadian Salmon Still Missing

November 7, 2009

Analysis by:James Aliucci, President,

Canada to probe missing salmon stocks: PM | www.google.com

We have no idea what happens to the salmon when they go out to sea, but they always return. Well, up until now they have returned, this year they did not. This has had a devastating and ruinous effect on a billion dollar fishery in Canada. The sockeye salmon appear to have just disappeared. The appropriate Canadian authority is out to find the answer, they also should seek a solutions, looking forward, for the industry as a whole.

Fertilizer Musical Chairs Coming to Sad End- Agrium & CF Industries Last Offers

November 6, 2009

Analysis by:Gary Drimmer, President,

Agrium increases cash portion of bid in final attempt to buy CF Industries | www.chicagotribune.com

Since the beginning of the year Agrium Inc.  and CF Industries Holdings  Inc.  have been seeking to make a major acquisition in consolidation effort after drop in sector share prices. This week new offers went out and we might be reaching an end to this round of efforts as the outlook for the sector finally appears to be touching bottom. 

Omega-3 Soybean Oil Closer To Commercial Reality For Monsanto and Solae

November 1, 2009

Analysis by:Gary Drimmer, President,

Solae, LLC and Monsanto Company reach important regulatory milestone that advances the development of foods containing the world's first stearidonic acid (SDA) omega-3 soybean oil product | www.seedquest.com

The GRAS certification of Monsanto's new omega-3 Soybean Oil is a major step not only for Monanto and their partner on this product, Solae LLC, but a it could also help pave the way to the acceptance of GMO crops around the world. The product still needs to be developed and marketed correctly as it is SDA and not EPA or DHA.
