Mediterranean Aquaculture and Genetic Pollution: A Review Combined with Data from a Fish Farm Evaluating the Ecological Risks of Finfish Escapes

Abstract: Mediterranean finfish aquaculture is mainly represented by the production of the gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) growing in marine cage farms. Despite the numerous benefits of fish farming, the ecological risk potentially caused by fish escapes to the wild populations is occasionally high. In the current study, an integrated review of fish escapes is presented regarding S. aurata and D. labrax escapes and their potential effect on the genetic composition of wild populatio… Show more

“…Escape of aquaculture fish into the wild may lead to both genetic (reviewed by Glover et al., 2017) and ecological (Bradbury et al., 2020) impacts on native populations. While this topic has been extensively investigated in the context of domesticated Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) farming and the long‐term documentation of escapees interbreeding in wild populations, many of the same concerns are also raised for a range of other marine fish species subjected to aquaculture (Alvanou et al., 2023; Bekkevold et al., 2006).…”

“…As the aquaculture sector continues to expand in the Mediterranean Sea with a positive growth trajectory (Zoli et al, 2023), adopting new strategies to mitigate potential environmental impacts becomes crucial. In this context, sperm cryopreservation can be an important tool in producing these species, assisting in genetic improvement programs (genetic backup), and genetic editing for the development of infertile animals, since fish escape from cages are recurrent and cause serious environmental problems (Alvanou et al, 2023). Gilthead seabream and European seabass sperm cryopreservation protocols have been developed and improved for decades (Cabrita et al, 2005;Chambeyron and Zohar, 1990;Fauvel et al, 1998).…”
