Aquaculture growth potential in Italy: WAPI factsheet to facilitate evidence-based policy-making and sector management in aquaculture

This factsheet provides data and information to facilitate the assessment of aquaculture growth potential in Italy. It relies on official data and statistics readily available to the public. Some important dimensions such as aquaculture’s contribution to GDP and employment are not evaluated due to the lack of global data. 
Analyses in the factsheet are based on official data and statistics published by FAO and other international or national organizations. The data and statistics may differ from those used in other WAPI factsheets because of different data sources or different versions of the same datasets. They may not be consistent with data and statistics from other sources (e.g. national statistics). The preparation of the factsheet has benefited from tables and charts generated by various World Aquaculture Performance Indicator (WAPI) modules.
