INTRODUCTION
The Federation of European Aquaculture Producers (FEAP) is an international association that has the purpose of developing and communicating a common policy on questions relating to the production and the commercialisation of aquaculture species are reared professionally.
The Member Associations of the FEAP provide historical production and price data for the activities of their national producers on an annual basis. In addition, where possible, forecasts for the coming year are also indicated, based on their own individual reporting systems.
The FEAP Secretariat groups this information into European and National reports on production and values that are published in the FEAP (www.feap.info) and Aquamedia sites (www.aquamedia.org), where full details on the species and national data are assembled.
For further statistical information on aquaculture production and values, the FAO provides a wide range of data for global aquaculture and fisheries statistics (FISHSTAT) while Globefish, another initiative of the FAO, represents a network of regional marketing information services that provides data on markets and prices. European trade data can be accessed through EUROSTAT.
