dc.descriptionAquaculture as source for food and income for countries is developing rapidly, especially in developing countries. Management of a sector that has major implications for the aquatic ecosystem, environment and general aquatic health, must be based on a sound regulatory framework that is managed by stable institutional set-ups. There are many considerations that must be taken into account. Public sector institutions play a particularly important role in this regard, which should carefully map out the objectives and goals of a national aquaculture sector. The institutional foundations and the basic legal rules should support and protect aquaculture farmers, encourage investments in the country, ensure that the production sustains regional and international standards for export and consumption, and in general protect the environment. This paper seeks to generally present the most important issues to take into consideration when developing a national aquaculture regulatory framework. In add ition, the latest trends and developments in aquaculture legislation during the past twenty years are presented, as well the most common challenges.
