Past Events

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.

Portugal relies on imports for approximately eight months 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).

Cefas will organise a regional workshop on the development of guidance for the sustainable development of European aquaculture in relation to the WFD and the MSFD for the Mediterranean Region. The workshop will take place in Athens, Greece. Date has not yet been confirmed but will take place 30th April to 1st May, 1-2nd of May or over two consecutive days in the week commencing 5th May.
