Aquaculture: the heat is affecting production

The API is calling for action to resolve the emergency

02, Sep 2026

Extreme temperatures and the summer water crisis are hitting Italian aquaculture hard. Although the sector has tenaciously withstood the drought, – as the API (Italian Fish Farmers’ Association) points out – current production losses have reached critical levels: immediate, structural public intervention is needed.
Small and medium-sized enterprises in the sector are particularly hard hit, including trout and sturgeon farms. Trout is the most commonly farmed fish in Italy, which is also the world’s second-largest producer of sturgeon caviar.
