Fish Dependence is the day on which imports have to be relied upon because national catches would have run out if only home-caught fish had been eaten since 1 January.

Denmark relies on imports for approximately two days per year, to satisfy domestic demand for fish products.

Fish dependence is a powerful concept that illustrates how far over consumption outstrips domestic resources. One way to illustrate this trend is to represent a country’s degree of self-sufficiency as a calendar day – the day in the year when a country has consumed its own supply and must begin sourcing its products from elsewhere, hence the term ‘fish dependence day’. For the EU this date is currently 11th July, after which the EU depends on foreign resources. Fish dependence day is calculated by New Economics Foundation (NEF).

The training course is designed for DG MARE officials and is also open to the members of the RACs and other stakeholders. The course includes topics such as the advisory process (including data collection) and the latest developments at ICES (on data limited stocks, mixed fisheries and multispecies fisheries).

Please note that the subjects of the two days can be followed separately, so it is possible to attend only for one day.

Please see invitation and agenda below for more information and how to register.
