The ICRAM project, financed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, aims to analyse the basic elements necessary to set up a computerised system on market topics of Mediterranean aquaculture, capable to elaborate the structural and economic parameters. The project will develop the analysis of official statistics through the following themes: 1. identification of the main statistics, 2. analysis of domestic supply of Mediterranean aquaculture, 3. analysis of domestic demand of Mediterranean aquaculture, 4. trade relations, 5. market channels. The above mentioned data will relate to sea bass and sea bream production in the following countries: Albania, Algeria, Cyprus, Croatia, Egypt, France, Israel, Italy, Greece, Malta, Morocco, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey. Taking into account a general competitive scenario in the aquaculture sector, it is so necessary to define the economic and commercial aspects of the sector, capable of making a more accurate and precise programming of the interventions from the administration. The main objective is thus to exceed a limit of knowledge and computerisation, and give the necessary assistance to the national administration and to the producers, both Italian and Mediterranean, giving information about productive and commercial structures and existing competitive mechanisms. From 1995 on, there will be annual meetings and questionnaires distributed in order to gather the information.
