A professor of farmed fish markets at the University of Cantabria in
Spain, Jose Manuel F. Polanco, warned turbot producers should start
shifting into other segments of European demand for aquaculture products
due to an unavoidable Pescanova crisis effect.

The Spanish turbot market is heading for a severe depression in the near
future and sales volumes will take a few years to recover, Polando believes.

High prices will cause a collapse in demand as the Spanish market, the
main destination for turbot, cannot afford the expensive fish, warned
the professor.

"The technical problems that Pescanova has in its plant in Mira,
Portugal, cannot be underestimated. Production will be immediately hit,
and there are no investments on the horizon," the professor said in a
recent interview in a scholarly publication.

Greenland turbot is not a true turbot (Psetta maxima) and actually more
closely resembles its relative, halibut. It is sold as turbot in the
United States so as not to confuse it with Pacific halibut. In fact, the
only species that can be legally sold as €œhalibut€� disclaimer in the
United States are Atlantic and Pacific halibut. Greenland turbot is sold
as Greenland halibut in Europe so as not to confuse it with true turbot.
In U.S. markets, Greenland turbot typically comes from U.S. or Canadian
fisheries.
