OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTS
The red porgy, Pagrus pagrus, is one of the most popular sparids in the Mediterranean region, and it is characterised by high price value (10.2 to 20.6 EURO/kg), highly appreciated flesh and good market perspectives. Fisheries supply is rather limited (4,022 t in 1995), suggesting an unsatisfied market demand and providing an opportunity for aquaculture (FAO, 1997). Red porgy express a high growth rate (higher than that of gilthead sea-bream, Sparus aurata), has a good adaptability to culture conditions and presents no serious disease problems.
In addition, data on its reproductive biology, and information related to intensive farming requirements of this species are already available. Therefore, red porgy has been considered as a prime new species for aquaculture, and an ideal species for diversification of aquaculture production. Initial commercial trials have already been performed in fish farms in a variety of Mediterranean countries (Greece, Italy, Spain)
