摘要:In Romania,the fishery and aquaculture industry is a sector with long tradition and history. However,during the last decades the contribution of capture fisheries and also of aquaculture to food fish supplies has been declined. So,the Romania’s nominal fish production decreased from a harvested fish production of 270,000 tonnes in 1986 to 16,250 tonnes in 2008. This decline is as a result of the economic crises specific to the transition period towards a market economy and to the declaration of the exclusive economic zone. Nowadays,about 77 % of Romania’s total domestic fish supply on the market comes from aquaculture (12,496 tonnes) and around 23 % come from capture fisheries. The fishery and aquaculture sector makes a marginal contribution to the Gross Domestic Product and is continuously decreasing. While the aquaculture is the main contributor to the sector,the general trends of the fish and fish products market has to be undertaken with regard to the specific constraints of aquaculture in terms of production costs,dependence on environmental factors and zootechnical constraints.
