With<strong>in</strong> the GFCM area, analysis of the annual average growth rate of aquaculture production by<br />

country shows that Croatia, Turkey, Malta, Cyprus, Greece <strong>and</strong> Slovenia have their major growth <strong>in</strong><br />

production registered <strong>in</strong> the period 1985-2007. In the period 1996-2007, virtually all the countries<br />

experienced a significant reduction <strong>in</strong> their growth rates, as shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 2. Spa<strong>in</strong>, Albania,<br />

Montenegro, <strong>and</strong> Bosnia-Herzegov<strong>in</strong>a are exceptions to this tendency, whereas Tunisia is<br />
