Production strategies, productivity changes and innovation: An analysis of European turbot aquaculture from 2009 to 2020
Abstract After more than four decades of production in the European Union, turbot (Psetta maxima) farming is a mature sector with a moderate growth trend (2.74% in 2020). Although up to seven countries started the production of this species, there are only four producing countries in 2020, with more...
