Abstract(s)
EU citizens are consuming far more
fish than European seas can produce by catches
and aquaculture, this conducts in importation of
60% of it fish consumption. Some studies also
showed that the consumption of fish in EU
countries was below the recommended values for
human health, so the level of consumption tends
to rise. By other hand almost of the fish stocks is
fully exploited and can conducts to
environmental problems. Some examples were
mentioned. The sustainability of fisheries is an
EU priority today, as demonstrated the new
Common Fisheries Policy. In last two years
several recommendations and rules have been
done to achieve this objective. By other hand is
important educate the consumers to change
mentality and conduct them to consume fish
catch by sustainability fisheries. Also was
implementing several certifications, regional
(origin certification) and international. At this
point aquaculture is considered a solution to
provide fish to EU but some problems are
constricts their rise, such as consumer mentality,
tourism competitive for coastal areas,
environment problems, etc. Several examples
were mentioned. In all these problem education
of different actors is a big concern. So Aquatnet
project, an EU Erasmus project (actually in third
edition), study the pr0oblem and try to contribute
to the solution of this problem.
