Eco-intensification of European aquaculture will provide more and better aquatic products, more high-quality jobs, and improve trade balance by reducing imports. Eco-intensification does not depend on increased space allocation for aquaculture—this is critical, because spatial issues are particularly controversial, not only due to multiple competitive uses of water and land, but because of social constraints to the activity.
CERES investigated how climate change is affecting different European fish/shellfish species – and how Europe’s fishermen and fish farmers can adapt in the future to climate change. We already know climate change is causing some fish/shellfish to struggle, some to do well, and others to move from their traditional environment.
Aquaspace has the goal of providing increased space for aquaculture, to encourage and allow increased aquaculture production in marine and freshwater systems. The goal is to provide a lasting legacy for the increased allocation and use of marine and freshwater space for aquaculture development, which will lead to the increased supply of aquatic products in Europe.
