Fishing

Fishing is one of the branches that contribute very little to the total economic activity in Slovenia. In 2006 the value added in the fishing sector totaled EUR 4.3 million, which corresponds to 0.02% of the economy's total value added. The volume of marine fishing and farming of aquatic animals declined again in 2006. The decline was the result of a smaller marine catch and farming. The marine catch and farming amounted to 1,126 tonnes. The total quantity of aquatic animals has also been declining in the EU-25 on average. EU countries mostly fish in the North Atlantic Ocean and much less in the Mediterranean.
