The National Fisheries Institute (NFI), which represents the US seafood sector, released a brief statement on the election of Donald Trump on Wednesday.

"NFI is prepared to work with incoming President Trump and his administration on all aspects of seafood," the group said in an email to IntraFish.

"From trade to fisheries and nutrition, seafood is an important component of a variety of vital sectors.

"NFI is ready to serve as a resource as this new administration begins to learn the complexities and significance of seafood."
