January 8, 2014 — A new report shows fish supplies in the European Union have fallen to their lowest levels since 2006, with imports doing an about-face in 2012 from growth the previous year.
The report, prepared by the EU Fish Processors and Traders Association, included statistics on finfish supply, imports and exports to and from the E.U. from 2001 to 2012, with estimates for 2013. The association said it hopes the report will be used to help set quotas and other fishery management rules.
