Monfort, M.C. ABSTRACT Mediterranean finfish species such as the European seabass and the gilthead seabream have,
over the last two decades, been attracting considerable attention among aquaculturists and
investors. The net result has been a rapid increase in the supply of the finfish to European
markets. Accessing these markets with the right product at the right price is a key factor in the
success of any commercial aquaculture project. This report describes the current status of the
European market for these and other finfish species and the major characteristics of marketing
farmed fish in the Mediterranean basin. |
