dc.descriptionAs indicated in the synthesis document, commercial freshwater aquaculture started in the GFCM area towards the end of the 19th century, although extensive practices for brackishwater aquaculture in the northern Adriatic valli were older and there is evidence of aquaculture practices from classical times. Modern mariculture is more recent and has developed rapidly in the last two decades. For the GFCM countries bordering the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, the evolution of aquaculture produc tion in the period in which FAO has collected statistics (1984-1997), indicates a growth from 655 000 in 1984 to over 956 000 in 1997. This figures include also the production from freshwater aquaculture and the French and Spanish production derived from the Atlantic coast. Freshwater aquaculture production amounted in 1984 to about 154 000 and grew to almost 187 000 in 1997. Marine and Brackishwater production moved in the same years from 472 500 to over 667 000. If only the Mediterranean and B lack Sea marine and brackishwater aquaculture production would be considered, the evolution in the period would have been from 80 000 to almost 264 000.
