Résumé :	Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food production sectors. Production techniques have progressed rapidly as a result of efforts from the private sector and the scientific community. To maintain this momentum in the Mediterranean Region, four international networks were established in partnership between International (FAO), Mediterranean regional (CIHEAM) and national institutions, and placed under the aegis of the Aquaculture Committee of the General Fisheries Council for the Mediterranean. These four Mediterranean networks are: TECAM (Technology of Aquaculture in the Mediterranean), SELAM (Socio-economic and Legal Aspects of Aquaculture in the Mediterranean), SIPAM (System of Information for the Promotion of Aquaculture in the Mediterranean) and EAM (Environment and Aquaculture in the Mediterranean) and have, as objectives, the promotion of co-operation in the above mentioned subjects between institutions and experts in the region. TECAM and SELAM networks are coordinated by the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM) which has been, since 1995, organizing and implementing the activities through the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Zaragoza (fAMZ), in collaboration with FAO and other Mediterranean institutions. At present, subjects included in the TECAM network are nutrition, health management and species diversification. Activities of the SELAM network have so far included marketing, production economics and aquaculture planning. As regards the field of species diversification, different activities have already been organized within the framework of the TECAM Network. Among them a TECAM Workshop on Marine Aquaculture Finfish Species Diversification held in Nicosia (Cyprus), from 14 to 1 7 June 1995, and a Working Group Meeting held in Crete, Greece, on 8 and 9 July 1996. During the TECAM Workshop held in Cyprus, it became evident that there is an overlapping of research activities on finfish diversification in several Mediterranean countries and private and public research institutes/companies and a problem that should be avoided and can be solved by a better co-operation and communication between researchers. In this respect, the TECAM Network, following the recommendations of the above-mentioned workshop, launched a Mediterranean survey on finfish diversification. The results of this survey, which are presented in this publication, are expected to facilitate a deeper insight into the main and most common constraints found in this research field, as well as to facilitate the establishment of collaborative research groups on New Mediterranean Aquaculture Finfish Species. After including an introductory paper on the problems involved in species diversification, this publication presents an introduction to the survey and its results. For each identified finfish species a brief summary of the biological characteristics is included as well as a brief description of the current situation of the culture, including the names of the groups working on it. For each species a table compiling all survey answers is presented. Finally, and with the aim of facilitating the communication between experts on this field, in Annex II and III the reader will find the addresses of Mediterranean Institutions and Companies, as well as their experts and working topics, identified during the survey. This publication is the sixth volume devoted to aquaculture published in the CIHEAM journal Options Mediterranean's. These publications offer a valuable source of up-to-date information for those interested in aquaculture in the Mediterranean.
