Abstract: Production of freshwater fish is a major branch of European aquaculture. The outcome of this workshop is to provide key information and strategic advice on how to fulfil the production potential of the sector to: (i) policy-makers, administrators and legislators; (ii) future investors; (iii) consumers; and, particularly, (iv) producers. Trout and carp dominate European aquaculture, whereas there are other promising candidates for culture that have not been profitably exploited.--Publisher's description.
