对作为食品的鱼和贝类的需求正在增加；然而，大规模生产的潜力面临许多挑战。政策和立法可能会对更可持续的水产养殖做法的发展产生影响，例如综合多营养水产养殖。这项研究调查了六个欧洲国家现行治理框架内允许采用和管理IMTA的灵活性。采用滚雪球的方法来确定相关的欧盟立法，并以此为基础确定执行欧盟要求的国家/区域立法。这些数据与案头研究相结合，为六个国家中的每一个国家编制了一份立法概览，然后对监管框架进行了法律比较分析。主要结论是，除其他外，注重环境可持续性和技术创新的现有政策可能是国际贸易协定的激励因素；监管框架复杂而广泛，这可能是国际贸易协定的障碍。总体而言，这项研究发现，国家框架总体上可以接受试验性的IMTA试点计划，但如果要进行商业扩张，则需要进行实质性的监管改革。特别是，可能需要改变与疾病转让、鱼类健康和食品安全有关的法律制度的某些方面。(C)2015爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Demands for fish and shellfish as food products are increasing; however, the potential for large scale production faces numerous challenges. Policy and legislation are likely to have an impact on the development of more sustainable aquaculture practices such as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA). This study investigated the flexibility within the current governance frameworks across six European countries to allow for the adoption and management of IMTA. A snowball approach was used to identify relevant EU legislation, which was used as the basis by which to identify national/regional legislation which implemented EU requirements. This data was combined with a desk study to create a legislation overview for each of six countries, which was then subject to a Comparative Legal Analysis of the regulatory frameworks. Key findings were that inter alia: an existing policy focus on environmental sustainability and technological innovation may be an incentive for IMTA; and that the regulatory framework is complex and extensive and this may be a barrier to IMTA. Overall, this study found that national frameworks were generally amenable to experimental IMTA pilot schemes, but that for commercial expansion substantial regulatory reform would be required. Particularly, there may be a need for change to some aspects of legal regimes relating to the transfer of disease, fish health and food safety. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
