Dear Martina,

 You can visit our EU LdV FISHFARM project website and in  handbook to find general cost management strategies in aquaculture (http://fishfarmeurope.eu).

Best regards,

great. thank you. The site is very good, specially the youtube clips :)

Dear Martina

The feasibility study for such projects give you a clear idea about the whole economics matrix, since it goes for coast benefit analysis (CBA).   

You can find Acquaculture in the whole Europe economic document in

Dear Martina,

You can find info about the economics of the mediterranean species in the European Commission STECF reports, "aquaculture economics report". Now is available the 2013 report, but the 2014 will be availabe in a few months. 

Also, I write you some references about papers in seabream seabass production optimization with bioeconomics models. In these papers you can also find a brief revision of the bioeconomics models applied to aquaculture until today. 

"The competitive advantages arising from different environmental conditions in seabream, Sparus aurata, production in the Mediterranean Sea"

Hi Martina,

My suggestion: Contact Dr. Francesc Piferrer, Institut de Ciències del Mar de Barcelona: [email protected]

Francesc may be able to give you some directions.

Hi Martina,

I did some research myself  in 2009 on production cost of farmed seabream. I 've just published the full text on research gate: G. Stefani M. Gioia (2009), What is the incidence of feed cost?, Eurofishmarket, 12: 4-19

I can recommend you visit the FAO-Fisheries and Aquaculture department Web pag. See link below. You can explore the different publications.
