The grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) is one of the 6 species selected for the European program DIVERSIFY (FP7, GA 603121), a five-year project to advance the knowledge and its practical application in the culture of new and emerging finfish species in order to satisfy an expanding European market for a variety of sustainable fresh fish. There is increasing interest in the culture of the omnivorous grey mullet as a high quality source of protein and as a species that requires little or no dietary fish meal. Moreover, the salted and dried roe (bottarga) from gravid females is considered a highly prized delicacy in the southern Mediterranean and Asia, and an added value product from the culture of this species.
The workshop is addressed to the aquaculture industry, with the objective of transferring the knowledge acquired by the project on the various aspects of grey mullet rearing, in order to enable any commercial aquaculture operation to include this species in their production.
