Chile Salmon Output Falls 24% to 650,000 tons; May go Lower As New Regulations Implemented  Chile announced new regulations that will reduce fish densities in salmon pens by 27 percent in a move that is expected to cut Chilean salmon output permanently. Chilean salmon production this year is already projected to fall to its lowest level since 2011 because of a severe algae bloom that ravaged major producing sites in March and April. But the density regulations prompted Marine Harvest to withdraw from Chile's major salmon association SalmonChile. The company said the measures are not enough to make the industry more sustainable. "The industry really needs predictable, sustainable regulations ... the regulation that is coming does not go in the right direction," said Marine Harvest Chile's Managing Director Per-Roar Gjerde. The company said it wants a stricter mandate to cap Chile's overall salmon production at 400,000 metric tons annually. The Baffin Fisheries Coalition, the largest harvester of shrimp in Canada's North, is leaving the Nunavut Offshore Allocation Holders Association (NOAHA) — the organization that represents the territory's offshore fishing industry. Baffin is leaving the Association after the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board said it will take a 30 percent portion of Baffin's Northern Shrimp quota in the Nunavut Settlement Area and give it to a competitor, Qikiqtaaluk Corporation, for the next two years. "We were not able to agree because some members of NOAHA are benefiting from our reduction so it was sort of going nowhere," said Methuselah Kunuk, vice-president of the Coalition. "I wish them good luck, but I think we can have more of a voice without them." In other news, Former Federal Fisheries Minister Hunter Tootoo completed his treatment for alcohol addiction, his office said in a statement Monday.  “After completing my treatment for alcohol addiction, I wish to invite my constituents to an open house where I will be available to address their concerns as I resume my duties as their member of Parliament," TooToo said in the official statement. Officials in the Prime Minister's Office declined to comment on Tootoo's anticipated return to work. Meanwhile, reports from Peru’s Ministry of Production (IMARPE) say 850,000 metric tons of Peru’s commercial 1.8 million metric allowable anchovy catch have been landed. However, data indicates that the fishery has entered its reproductive cycle, which should force a closure as per the fishery's management plan. Finally, federal prosecutors dismissed conspiracy charges against Debra Messier, the longtime bookkeeper for Carlos Rafael. The motion likely clears Messier of potential penalties — pending a judge's ruling — ahead of Rafael’s federal trial, slated for January 2017 at U.S. District Court in Boston. Prosecutors said Monday’s dismissal motion was filed “in the interests of justice.”
