The D3.4 aimed to explore the room for improving competitiveness at the production stage. Based on challenges and bottlenecks initially identified for each of the case studies covered by the SUCCESS project, the report reviews and analyses initiatives taken by producers to improve their competitiveness and sustainability. Some challenges are common to both fisheries and aquaculture sectors; others are more specific. In total, the description and results from 18 initiatives (10 in fisheries and 8 in aquaculture) are presented and there is at least one initiative per case study. Initiatives have been classified by category: New products (2), New production technique/mode (2), Institutional changes (3), Management/ spatial tools (2), Labelling and certification (5), New commercial Outlets (4), Producer organisations (3) and Other (2). Some initiatives can overlap across several categories. One major result of this work is the role played by marketing-oriented initiatives including labelling but also producer organisations and other needs for integration of market issues in fisheries and aquaculture management. Outcomes from investigated rooms for improvement can be more or less successful but lessons learned provide insights for policy recommendations common to both sectors or specific to case studies.
