    This document reviews the status and trends in aquaculture development in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. It updates the last Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) “Regional Review on Status and Trends in Aquaculture Development in the Near East and North Africa – 2010” (FAO, 2011). It highlights the salient issues, particularly those that have evolved in the past decade (2010–2014). The data contained in the review is based on FAO’s official datasets (FAO, 2016a). Other local, regional and global information sources were also consulted throughout the review process. These included the FAO Fishery Country Profiles (FCPs), the National Aquaculture Sector Overviews (NASOs), the National Aquaculture Legislation Overviews (NALOs), the Database on Introductions of Aquaculture Species (DIAS), the World Bank and AQUASTAT. Regional fisheries and aquaculture management bodies and networks including the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFC M), the Working Group on Aquaculture of the Regional Commission on Fisheries (WGA-RECOFI) and the Regional Aquaculture Information System (RAIS) provided valuable information on the development of the aquaculture sector in the region. Additional information was also collected from trade magazines and other technical reports.
