Abstract

In the south Adriatic sea region mariculture, is currently limited to traditional cultivation of oysters and mussels, as well as some cage-culture of seabass and sea bream, in the Bay of Mali Stan. The spatial zoning commission of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, in fact, has identified about thirty suitable rearing sites, with an estimated combined capacity of over 10.000 MT/yr of fish. One strategy for revitalizing Croatian and Dubrovnik-Neretva County mariculture is introduction of new species for cultivation sach as : greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili), dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus), golden grouper (Epinephelus costae), red scorpionfisch (Scorpaena scrota), salema (Sarpa sa/pa), pink dentex (Dentex gibbosus), maegre (Argyrosomus regius). One important way in which
the long-term profitability of the south Adriatic region mariculture sector can be insured is through an aggressive program to evaluate rationally, and to commercialize rapidly, new species for cultivation.
