Fish farming

The world is facing depleting fish stocks and fish farming – or aquaculture – offers solutions and could help ensure food security. But aquaculture has been called out for challenging natural biodiversity. Applying technology such as AI, machine learning, satellite data and geospatial datasets can make fish farming sustainable while providing the evidence to prove it.

To find out more about what Europe is doing to help the continent's fishing industry cope with the coronavirus pandemic, Ocean's Denis Loctier spoke to Virginijus Sinkevičius, European Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries.

A mobile application developed by an EU-funded project offers farmers much-needed, near-real-time support to increase yields - boosting their sustainability and competitiveness.

The Commission has adopted a proposal for fishing opportunities for 2020 for the commercially most important fish stocks in the Baltic Sea.
