Abstract

Over the past few years, consumers have been increasing their awareness about environmental, health and safety concerns, gradually changing their habits in favour of organic food. In Europe, the organic aquaculture is legislated by Comm ission Regulation (EC) 710/2009. In Italy, only ten farms are involved in the supply of certified organic fish and only some pilot projects were carried out for organic farming of different species. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to evaluate o rganic technical feasibility and production costs, comparing them with conventional production. This study contains the first considerations about organic production and its relative costs for seabass fry, one of the most reared species of the country. Con version to organic production naturally involves additional costs concerning the conversion process itself, the production of a new type of product and the lower output. In fact, results have shown that certification and feed costs represented the most sig nificant difference between conventional and organic production. .
