Summary/Abstract: Aquaculture contribute ever more to the production of aquatic food worldwide, even if the sustainable limits for majority of wild fish stocks, are now almost reached or even exceeded. In the EU, aquaculture is an important economic activity in many coastal and continental regions. Aquaculture plays an important role in terms of access to food resources and it is necessary to use its potential to contribute to sustainable development, food security, economic growth and employment. In this regard, starting from EU aquaculture objectives, we intend to make an analysis of the national situation of aquaculture and its current potential. We will also analyse the progress of Romanian investments in aquaculture, identifying needs and opportunities for Romanian aquaculture development. The conclusions of the research may be useful for academic and business environment, to develop sustainable activities in aquaculture sector.
