Sažetak
Bluefin tuna farming has developed very quickly in the Mediterranean area, particularly in the 1990’ s. Initially, large lean fish captured in the trap were used for farming but later small to medium size fish caught by purse seiners were mostly used. Except for a few experimental cases where fish are kept over years, they are fattened only for several months and mostly exported to the Japanese Sashimi market. This product created a medium quality tuna market in Japan and also encouraged the Mediterranean fishermen to concentrate efforts on bluefin tuna. Farming is causing many problems in collecting accurate catch statistics, as well as giving some impacts on the management of fish stocks and the environment.
