Direct peers

• The Fish Site: Online B2B news and reference site covering aquaculture and seafood production. Directly comparable as a digital-first specialist trade publication targeting the same upstream seafood value chain that PDM covers in print.
• IntraFish: Long-established Norwegian-headquartered B2B news and data service covering the global seafood industry. Closely comparable to PDM as a specialized trade media title serving producers, processors, and buyers across the seafood value chain, though operating at greater international scale and primarily in English.
• Eurofish Magazine: European fisheries and aquaculture trade publication associated with the FAO's EUROFISH project. Comparable to PDM as a multilingual European seafood trade title, but with broader geographic scope and institutional backing rather than a single-country commercial focus.
• Aquaculture Magazine: Long-running international B2B trade publication dedicated to aquaculture. Comparable to PDM in format (bimonthly print + digital) and audience overlap on the aquaculture and seafood production side, though operating globally in English.
• Fish Farmer Magazine: UK-based trade magazine covering the aquaculture industry. Directly comparable to PDM's editorial model (print + digital, sector-focused B2B trade publication serving aquaculture professionals), though it covers a narrower aquaculture focus and a different national market.

Regional players

• Fishing News: UK-based weekly newspaper and digital title covering the commercial fishing industry. Comparable to PDM as a long-standing national-language trade publication serving fishermen, processors, and wholesalers, but with a UK rather than French audience.

Broad incumbents

• SeafoodSource: Owned by Diversified Communications (which also runs the Seafood Expo portfolio), SeafoodSource is a broad B2B seafood industry news and information platform. Comparable to PDM in audience (industry buyers and suppliers) but materially larger and English-language/global.
• SeaFood Business: US-based B2B trade media brand for seafood buyers, suppliers, and operators under the BNP Media umbrella. Comparable as a broad seafood trade title serving retail, foodservice, and supply-chain audiences, but North American-focused and at greater scale.
