Fish retailer sector has a great economic weight in Europe, especially in countries such Spain, Portugal and Iceland, where the average annual fish consumption exceeds 23,9Kg/pers.
Fishmongers play an important role in society, thus they inform customers about fisheries products, encouraging healthy habits amongst population. Nevertheless, this sector has many difficulties related with training issues, aggravated by the great inequality in the imparted and required professional training amongst different countries, the lack of training culture, professional ageing and long working days, that hinders professional retraining.
E-fishNet Project aims at addressing this problem, by creating a European partner network, that supports training harmonization, knowledge acquisition and raises the prestige of Fish Retailer Sector.
