Europeans' love to eat fish. But did you know that less than 30 percent comes from the EU - the rest is imported.
As the demand for seafood has increased, new technologies been developed that allow to grow fish and molluscs to be farmed in inland and marine waters without putting additional stress to avoid putting additional pressure on natural ecosystems: this is how the aquaculture sector was born. Aquaculture is the aquatic equivalent of agriculture. Unlike of wild-caught fish, which are caught in their natural environment, fish produced in the aquaculture sector are raised and caught in controlled environments, in inland or coastal waters, or in the ocean. In that sense, aquaculture can be used as a method to produce more fish without endangering existing stocks, but also to restore habitats, replenish wild stocks, and rebuild populations of threatened and endangered species. By 2050, the population will increase by 30% more population, posing an unprecedented challenge: Food systems must significantly increase the production of safe and nutritious food, while reducing the pressure on environmental resources. The European aquaculture sector has become increasingly important in this context.
New Technologies, Tools and Strategies for a Sustainable, Resilient and Innovative European Aquaculture must be implemented.
