This study is the investigation of Mediterranean aquaculture complete history, from 1950 to 2020. Both functional than geographical expansion of aquaculture is investigated, considering two main complementary aspects of aquaculture: farmed species and farming countries. According to the models proposed in this research, Nile tilapia and Egypt will dominate the future of Mediterranean aquaculture. Malta and Israel are the first producer countries, in relative terms. The most pervasive species are European sea bass and gilthead sea bream that are promising for a future expansion. In several countries, aquaculture has huge potentiality of development and it could grow with a factor of 5 or more, based on the ratio capture vs fishery on country size. Aquaculture total production in 2020 was of 2.8 Mln tons and it is expected to reach from 3.65 Mln tons in 2030. Aquaculture will grow in the countries and species that in this moment are dominant and the future of Mediterranean aquaculture will be characterized by the affirmation of these ones.
本研究调查了 1950 年至 2020 年间地中海水产养殖的完整历史。研究考察了水产养殖的功能和地理扩张，考虑了水产养殖的两个主要互补方面：养殖物种和养殖国家。根据本研究提出的模型，尼罗罗非鱼和埃及将主导地中海水产养殖的未来。就相对而言，马耳他和以色列是第一批生产国。最普遍的物种是欧洲鲈鱼和金头鲷，它们有未来扩张的潜力。在一些国家，水产养殖具有巨大的发展潜力，如果按照各国面积与渔业捕捞的比例计算，水产养殖的总产量可能会增长 5 倍或更多。2020 年水产养殖总产量为 280 万吨，预计到 2030 年将达到 365 万吨。水产养殖将在目前占主导地位的国家和物种中发展，地中海水产养殖的未来将以这些国家和物种的肯定为特征。
