(4) Existing Community legislation was drafted mainly to take into account the farming of salmon, trout and oysters. Since that legislation was adopted, the Community aquaculture industry has developed significantly. A number of additional fish species, particularly marine species, are now used in aquaculture.

Furthermore, farming of crustaceans, mussels, clams and abalones is becoming increasingly important.
