Aquaculture installations

Description

Aquaculture establishments The Aquaculture Directive (Council Directive 2006/88/EC on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals) requires Sweden to keep a register containing information on each aquaculture production business and its establishments. The geographical location of aquaculture establishments shall be indicated by means of coordinates. Aquaculture, i.e. the cultivation of fish, shellfish and algae, is a growing industry with great potential in Sweden. Aquaculture produces good and environmentally good food but also environmental services such as nutrient absorption through mussel farming. Today, fish are mainly farmed in cages in open water but also to some extent in closed systems or ponds on land. Mussels and oysters are grown mainly on ropes or in baskets in open water along the west coast. Some crayfish cultivation also takes place in ponds on land. The purpose of the register of aquaculture establishments is, inter alia, to make it possible to understand the spread of infection by following animals when moving between different locations in the event of an outbreak of infectious diseases.
