Smart and Resilient Aquaculture

Aquaculture Europe 2027 will embrace "Smart and Resilient Aquaculture". The aquaculture industry faces significant challenges, impacting everything from species biology and performance to infrastructure security, social and cultural integrity. To address these issues, the industry must collaborate closely with the scientific community, strategically planning its next steps to ensure socioeconomic and environmental sustainability. Embracing new tools and management practices will be crucial. Additionally, setting appropriate research priorities — including species diversification, animal health, genetic improvements, and innovative farming technologies — will help the industry adapt. Finally, regulatory frameworks must evolve to support these advancements, ensuring a resilient and sustainable future for aquaculture.
