Spreading of pathogens between fish stocks is a major issue in disease control. [27] Static offshore cages may help minimize direct spreading, as there may be greater distances between aquaculture production areas.

In 2007, 6.4 million tonnes of fish were caught by EU countries. [6] The EU fleet has 97,000 vessels of varying sizes. Fish farming produced a further 1 million tonnes of fish and shellfish and employed another 85,000 people. The shortfall between fish catches and demand varies, but there is an EU trade deficit in processed fish products of € ...
It has been called "the central problem of fish population dynamics" [14] and “the major problem in fisheries science". [15] Fish produce huge volumes of larvae, but the volumes are very variable and mortality is high. This makes good predictions difficult. [16] According to Daniel Pauly, [15] [17] the definitive study was made in 1999 by ...
