MARICULTURE: UNUSED POTENTIALIN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE
The data on volume of mariculture production and its share (in live weight equivalent) in delivery of fish products per capita in countries of the Central and Eastern Europe are given in comparison with the West European States. The principal causes responsible for the essential lagging of this sector of fish economy in the eastern region of Europe from the western one are considered. The possible prospects of mariculture development in Russia and other East European countries under realization of the accu- mulated scientific potential with consideration of the available coastal areas are discussed. 4 tabl., 4 ill., 45 bibliog.
