  • Description:
    The Cuban seafood industry has long been an important supplier of certain high-valued seafood products for the world market. In addition, the industry has historically played an important role in providing seafood products for domestic markets in Cuba. Assistance from the Soviet Union led to the development of a large distant-water fleet, which produced large volumes of low-valued seafood products. The nearshore fleets continue to produce high-​valued species for export markets. The loss of Soviet assistance, following the break up of the Soviet Union, has dramatically affected the manner in which the Cuban fishing industry is conducted. More recently, management of nearshore fleets, associated service industries, and processing facilities has been conducted in a more decentralized manner. In particular, this strategy allows much more control by the fleet operators of the various harvesting activities. The Cuban fishing fleet now concentrates on the production of high-valued species such as spiny lobster, shrimp, reef fish, tunas, sponges, etc. Renewed trade with the U.S. would provide market opportunities for several of these species.
