Introduction

World aquaculture data 2005

French aquaculture website has been updated with data FAO 2010 corresponding to 2008 production.

For several years, the Ifremer centre in Brest organised an information week for students and teachers on the theme of "Aquaculture and Environment".

Although this event has not taken place since 2006, we decided to keep the data on this website up to date for the aquacultural aspects. There is another Ifremer web site dedicated to the environmental aspects at: http://www.ifremer.fr/envlit/
