Summary Information on the production of cultivated fish and shellfish in marine and brackish waters in countries neighbouring the European Union has been compiled from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN database, Fishstat Plus. Fish production has increased rapidly in the Eastern Mediterranean and North African areas since 1989, but remains low in the Eastern Adriatic. Shellfish production in the Eastern Adriatic fell dramatically in 1991 and has not recovered. There are indications of significant increases in shellfish production in the Eastern Mediterranean since 1995.
