Why is it important?
The future of aquaculture depends on the diversification through the introduction of new fish species in farming practices, in order to respond to the market requirements. Especially in the Mediterranean area, where sea bass and sea bream are the main reared species, diversification in fish farming is attracting increasing attention.
