Aquaculture in Occitanie, France

摘要

The upcoming AQUA 2018 event #We R Aquaculture, co-organised by EAS and WAS, will take place in Occitanie. This is the name given to one of the new 'super regions' of France, created in 2016 from the former regions of Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrenees. Occitanie comes from the historical name of the broader region of southern France and the historic use of the Occitan language and its various dialects.Its aquaculture activities cover the production of marine and freshwater fish and shellfish cultivated in the Thau lagoon, a special focus of this article. The region also produces Spirulina and more recently other microalgae and macroalgae.
