VISION statement:

"European aquaculture in 2030 will produce larger volumes and contribute to a decrease of imports through a significant improvement of its competitiveness. It will also focus on being a commercial stakeholder in aquaculture worldwide. For the biological inputs, this competitiveness will be obtained from: Product specificity, targeted production environments, a high level of professionalism & skills and clear political & societal support."

Identified KEY GOALS:

1. Establish predictability and improve output and cost control at every production stage of the lifecycle
2. Genetic improvement of productive, health and welfare traits
3. Improve broodstock management methods and control of sex and reproduction in captivity
4. Manage the lifecycle of carefully selected "new" species that have high economic importance
