Federation of European Aquaculture Producers Best practices in the shellfish/fish farming industry. [Presentation at the EATiP/OBPS Best Practices in Aquaculture Workshop, 05 April 2022 (Online)].

Abstract

Best practice in fish farming is a working method that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better. Best practices are necessary to improve productivity, to assure competitiveness and apply to all the elements of the fish farming activity, from production to the market. An important element of Best practices is that they are shareable, and associations play a crucial role in spreading them. From this perspective bad practice in a farm not only creates negative externalities but also affects the reputation of the whole sector.
