Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and food: attribution, characterization, and monitoring ? Report

Abstract

This publication contains a detailed quarterly update on market trends for a variety of major commodities, such as tuna, groundfish, small pelagics, shrimp, salmon, fishmeal and fish oil, cephalopods, bivalves and crustacea. It combines the price information collected for the European Price Report with other market survey data collected by FAO GLOBEFISH. Key market data is presented in a time series tabular or graphical form with a written analysis of trends as well as key events and news. Since 1984, the FAO GLOBEFISH project has been providing governments, national and international stakeholders with relevant data, information and knowledge on fish trade in order to assist them in designing and implementing efficient and inclusive market and trade strategies. These strategies contribute to the sustainable development of the fish trade sector (including the economic, social and environmental aspects) and, at the same time, contribute to improving food and nutrition security and strengthening livelihood opportunities.
