When compared to aquaculture growth at world level, EU production has been almost stagnant.
The growth rate of fish aquaculture in EU-27 since 2000 has been exceptionally low, with fish aquaculture growing at 1,1% per year (annual average growth) and molluscs species at 2,8%. If Norway and Turkey are included, the total amount increases to 4%. At the global level, fish aquaculture annual average growth is at 4,3%. (FAO, 2022, https://www.fao.org/fishery/en/topic/166235).
