This is where most of the fish comes to the Union
In 2021, the European Union collectively caught and farmed over 1.1 million tonnes of aquatic species. However, Norway alone has outperformed all 27 EU member states combined.
Aquaculture, the controlled cultivation of fish, mollusks, and crustaceans, has gained significant importance within the European Union. Member states of the EU specialize in the harvesting and cultivation of various aquatic species, notably finfish (such as trout, sea bass, carp, tuna, and salmon) and mollusks (including clams, oysters, and mussels).
Spain, France, Italy, and Greece were the largest producers of aquatic species within the EU in 2021. The leading nation, Spain, accounted for the harvest or cultivation of 276,000 tonnes of aquatic species. Experts have pointed out that aquaculture within the EU has experienced substantial growth over the past decade, with several countries, including Hungary, witnessing significant expansion in aquaculture activities.
Nonetheless, Norway stands out as a major player in aquaculture. In 2021, Norway produced a total of 1.6 million tonnes of aquatic species, with farmed salmon being the primary product. This highlights Norway’s dominance in the aquaculture industry, reaffirming its position as a powerhouse in the cultivation of aquatic species, surpassing the entire European Union.
