Aquaculture in Italy boasts the presence of leading enterprises in the sector, producing annually a total of about 141 thousand tons of fish products in fresh and marine waters worth about 393 million of euros, with about 6,899 employees directly involved (MiPAAF – PSA, 2014). The sector is expected to have a positive growth trend up to 2025, amounting to 37% over the baseline figure, i.e., that reported to the 2013. The identification of new areas for aquaculture activities, together with the revisiting of the framework administrative and concessions, will help boost the competitiveness of regional productions, compared with low-cost and highly differentiated foreign productions. IRBIM CNR is participating in the project through the Secondary Office in Lesina dealing with the identification of marine-coastal areas most suitable to be allocated for shellfish farming, in relation to the oceanographic and trophic parameters of the waters, to productive parameters of the industry, to the potential development of infrastructure and services, as well as in Relating to the economic and management aspects of industry-related activities and also health and environmental sustainability in the Apulia Region.
