Opdræt af finnefisk, skaldyr og vandplanter er en af verdens hurtigst voksende fødevaresektorer, som allerede forsyner kloden med omkring halvdelen af alle de fisk, der bliver spist.
I Europa tegner akvakultur sig for omkring 20 % af fiskeproduktionen og beskæftiger omkring 85 000 mennesker. Sektoren består primært af SMV'er og mikrovirksomheder i kyst- og landområder. EU's akvakultur er kendt for sine høje standarder for kvalitet, bæredygtighed og forbrugerbeskyttelse.
EU's samlede produktion har været mere eller mindre konstant siden 2000, mens den globale produktion i samme periode er vokset med næsten 7 % om året.
Kommissionen vil sætte skub i akvakultursektoren med reformen af den fælles fiskeripolitik og offentliggjorde i 2013 strategiske retningslinjer med fælles prioriteter og generelle mål på EU-plan. Der blev i samråd med alle relevante parter udpeget fire prioriterede områder:
På grundlag af retningslinjerne samarbejder Kommissionen og EU-landene om at øge produktionen og konkurrenceevnen i sektoren. EU-landene opfordres til at udarbejde flerårige planer for at fremme akvakulturen. Kommissionen hjælper med at udpege flaskehalse, men arbejder også på at lette samarbejde, koordinering og udveksling af bedste praksis mellem EU-landene.
The European Commission has launched a number of campaigns to promote sustainable aquaculture in the EU. Most recently these include the Tapping Into Blue Growth conference, the Farmed in the EU campaign and the aquaculture schools project. These campaigns aim to highlight the role of aquaculture for EU citizens and to pass the message about what aquaculture is all about.

EUMOFA is conducting a brief online survey about its services. The survey will provide a better understanding of the users’ needs and expectations and help to improve EUMOFA services.
On 8 January 2021, the EU and Greenland concluded negotiations for a new Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (SFPA) and a new Protocol that will strengthen their cooperation in the fisheries sector for the next four years with the possibility of a two-year extension.
The 2020 Annual Economic Report on the EU Fishing Fleet projects that in 2020, the EU fleet remained profitable overall, despite the effects of COVID-19 on the fleet and fish markets. More sustainable fishing and lower fuel costs have helped to mitigate the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic.
