Aquaculture, freetime and sport fishing, 2022
The highest average purchase prices in aquaculture in the last ten years
In 2022 1,600 tonnes of aquatic organisms were bred, which is comparable to the previous year. The purchase value of farmed aquatic organisms (EUR 6.8 million) hit the record, mostly due to higher average purchase prices. More fish were caught in freshwater sport catch than the ten-year average.
In Slovenian fish farms most Rainbow trout were bred
Aquatic farming in inland waters accounted for more than 60% of total production, but less than in the previous year. The share of marine fish and molluscs increased by 8 p.p. compared to the previous year. 520 tonnes of Mediterranean Mussels were bred, which is by a quarter more than the year before.
Among aquatic farming in inland waters, the share of coldwater fish was almost 80% of total production. Among them was around 730 tonnes of Rainbow trout, which is by 15% less than in the previous year. Among warmwater fish, Carp prevailed – the production amounted to 123 tonnes and was comparable to the previous year.

The highest purchase value of bred aquatic organisms
In 2022, we recorded higher average prices in all bred aquatic organisms, on average by 15%. Total purchase value in aquaculture amounted to EUR 6.8 million, which is the highest since 2011. Average purchase price of Rainbow trout was EUR 5.65 per kilogram, which is 17% more than in the previous year and 45% more than the ten-year average. A kilogram of Carp cost EUR 3.06, which is about 30% more than in 2021 and the most ever.
The price of Mediterranean Mussels reached EUR 0.87 per kilogram, which in combination with good production represents the second highest purchase value ever – almost half a million euros.

In recreational sea fishing the fewest fish caught since 2015
In recreational sea fishing around 9.8 tonnes of fish and other marine organisms were caught. This is the lowest catch after 2015 and by 15% lower compared to the previous year. Molluscs and shellfish represent a quarter of total catch, which was 14% heavier than in the previous year. Most of these were Common cuttlefish, around 2 tonnes, which is the biggest catch of an individual marine organism. The catch of sea fish was smaller by a quarter compared to the previous year. It amounted to 7.2 tonnes, which is the smallest catch since 2015.
In sport fishing activities in inland waters, about 160 tonnes of freshwater fish were caught, which is comparable to the previous year and by 6% more than the ten-year average. Coldwater fish represented 17% of total catch – almost 27 tonnes. Sports fishermen caught around 23 tonnes of Rainbow trout, which is by 11% more than the ten-year average. Warmwater fish represented 83% of total sport fishing catch. 130 tonnes of fish were caught, the most Carp – almost 70 tonnes. Carp catch is comparable to the previous year and by 13% bigger than the ten-year average.
