It has launched an ambitious strategic plan for 2025, which includes 22 new projects aimed at attracting both national and foreign investments.
The magazine alsorecalled that last year, Morocco established its first fish hatchery for aquaculture, with the goal of producing up to 30 million high-quality fry of sea bream, sea bass, meagre, and other species of interest for the industry.
This hatchery will be "a key element" of the Mediterranean aquaculture sector, ensuring a reliable supply of fry for fish farming, the publication points out.
"This strategic initiative aims to strengthen production and promote comprehensive, high-quality, and sustainable development of the maritime fishing sector in the Mediterranean," the magazine adds, emphasizing that the production and monitoring of fry must ensure the long-term viability of fish farming projects.
