EU Aquaculture Assistance Mechanism

Study on state-of-the-art scientific information on the impacts of aquaculture activities in Europe

Description

The purpose of this study is to present the scientific basis of the positive and negative impacts of European aquaculture from an economic, environmental, and social point of view, in order to facilitate a well-informed debate. The study is first based on an extensive literature review to collate state-of-the-art scientific information on the positive and negative impacts of aquaculture. To complement these results, a deeper analysis of impacts was conducted via 18 case studies across Europe, covering a range of production technologies and species types. A review of the EU and national regulatory frameworks and associated mitigation measures was also conducted in parallel.
