World production and supply of fish and fisheries products reached 143 million tons in 2007 (141 millions in 2006). Capture fisheries were stable (91 million tons) whereas aquaculture continues to grow, reaching 52 million tons in 2007 and sharing 45 per cnet of supplies to human consumption. Trade grew up 8.1 per cnet in 2007 to US dollars 93 billion. Developing countries represent around 50 per cent of exports whereas the US, Japan and the EU take almost 3/4 of all imports. China is the largest producer and exporter. Quality and safety related import requirements in developed countries are one of the major obstacles to international trade. Mediterranean countries are responsible for the EU deficit in the trade balance: Italy holding 2.5 billion Euros deficit, followed by France and Spain (2 billion Euros each). France, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain account for 38 per cent of the total population of Europe, but make up 53 per cent of the consumption, being top consumers and deficitary producers, particularly in shellfish and crustacean products. There is however a wide disparity in consumption per caput: 55 kg. in Portugal, 50 kg. in Spain, 35 kg. in France, 27 kg. in Italy and 21 kg. in Greece. With the exception of Portugal, the share of aquaculture in the market for fish and fishery products is similar in the Mediterranean countries as in the other countries of the EU
