Greece

Overview

Greece is a major producing country for two farmed marine finfish species—European seabass and gilthead seabream. Together, these species comprised 97% of total marine finfish production in Greece in 2007. Its European seabass sector (66) outperforms its gilthead seabream sector (56) by 10 points. Greece’s country score (60) is just above the global country average but places it within the bottom half of all country scores. Both of Greece’s sectors performed reasonably well in the Inputs indicators, largely because they are both relatively low-trophic-level species compared to other assessed marine finfish.
