What is aquaculture?
Aquaculture, also known as fish farming, is to water what agriculture is to land – in other words, an aquaculture farmer rears aquatic animals or cultivates aquatic plants.

Aquacultuurstrategie van de EU

In 2009 heeft de Commissie een strategie gepubliceerd om een nieuwe impuls te geven aan de duurzame ontwikkeling van de Europese aquacultuur. Deze bestond uit drie elementen:

  • meer concurrentievermogen voor de sector door steun aan onderzoek en ontwikkeling, betere ruimtelijke ordening in kustgebieden en stroomgebieden, en door meer specifieke steun via het visserijmarktbeleid
  • duurzaamheid garanderen door vast te houden aan milieuvriendelijke productiemethoden en hoge eisen aan diergezondheid en -welzijn en consumentenbescherming
  • betere governance en een bedrijfsvriendelijk klimaat op alle niveaus (lokaal, nationaal en EU) zodat de sector zijn volledige potentieel kan benutten
