Organic aquaculture: impacts and future developments
In 2015, world aquaculture production reached 106 million tonnes, while European aquaculture production reached 2.98 million tonnes of seafood, with a value over 11 billion USD (FAO, 2017). Although the world aquaculture production is still the fastest-growing food-producing sector in the world, the European one increased by about 136% in the last 10 years. Organic aquaculture represents 4.7% of the total EU aquaculture production, with six main species: salmon, trout, carp, sea bass, sea bream and mussels. In addition, organic aquaculture has experienced a significant increase in recent years. In 2015, compared to 2012, it grew by 24% for salmon, doubled for rainbow trout and tripled for sea bass and sea bream (EUMOFA, 2017). Positive increase has also been observed for shellfish (mussels, oysters).
