The Aquaculture Europe 2021 Congress on the theme of ‘Oceans of opportunity’ took place on 4-7 October 2021 in Funchal (Madeira). Aquaculture Europe is an annual event organized by the European Aquaculture Society (EAS) which brings together European aquaculture stakeholders. The programme included sessions on a wide range of topics including ‘Ocean Literacy - Awareness - Knowledge Management’ as well as e-posters.
In 2018, 25% of the total consumption of fish and seafood by the average European Union (EU) citizen originated from aquaculture. EU aquaculture production in particular covered 10% of the seafood consumed in the EU and accounted for less than 2% of world production.
