Within the EU, production from aquaculture is not expected to grow significantly in the future despite a higher level of subsidies put in place (Guillen et al., 2019). Nevertheless, the present and future adverse impacts of aquaculture on European waters need to be addressed. Aquaculture is recognized as a source of significant pressures on waters, but the Water Framework and Marine Strategy Framework Directives do not contain explicit obligations for aquaculture yet. Further integration of measures on the farm site level with regulatory measures at the river basin, national and EU level is required to reduce the adverse effects of aquaculture production on European waters.
