Aquaculture and environment from the perspective of a Spanish fish farmer

Torrent Bravo F., Sánchez Montañés A.

The Spanish marine aquaculture industry is here described as a new emerging industry, although with a sound background from the trout and mussel production industries. Its impact on the environment is considered not negative and even positive provided a good production and environmental management system is undertaken. A comparison with other industries such as fisheries and other human activities is here described, activities better socially accepted but in some cases more harmful for their negative impact on the environment. The necessity for a well scientifically based regulation by the environmental authorities is here stated.
