Aquaculture in Maltese waters
This data includes the location of cages used for aquaculture in Maltese waters. The cages which are close to the shore are used for the breeding, rearing and harvesting of fish from egg to adult. This process, called
close cycle aquaculture, is used to breed fish, such as sea bream (Sparus aurata), European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and common meagre (Argyrosomus reglus). Other cages, which are more distant from
the coast, are used to keep Atlantic Bluefin Tuna which is caught in the wild. These fish are fed for a months until they are big enough to be harvested and sold.
