Exclusive Data & Analysis

GSA’s exclusive production forecasts for farmed shrimp and farmed finfish have been fixtures of the Responsible Seafood Summit for almost 20 years. Once again in 2025, the results of GSA’s aquaculture production (shrimp and finfish) survey were presented and analyzed by Rabobank with contributions from Kontali. Additionally, Expana provided production and trade data for a number of key wild seafood species, including pollock, salmon, mahimahi and shrimp. GlobeScan shared exclusive consumer market research results.

We look forward to once again sharing cutting-edge data and insights with our audience at Summit 2026.
