WORLD’S FIRST CHILDREN’S BOOK ON MEDITERRANEAN FISH FARMING RELEASED BY DIMITRIS PAFRAS

World’s first children’s book on Mediterranean fish farming released by Dimitris Pafras. A ground-breaking educational story introduces children to the world beneath the waves — and to the science of sustainable aquaculture

Greece, a global leader in Mediterranean aquaculture, is now home to a unique international innovation: author Dimitris Pafras, presents the first-ever children’s book worldwide that tells the story of gilthead seabream and European sea bass farming — through the eyes of two tiny fish.

Titled Fish Farming: Adventures in Fish Farming with Perla and Asimi, this beautifully illustrated book follows Perla and Asimi as they grow up inside a modern fish farm. Through their journey, young readers learn how fish are born, grow, and thrive — in a story full of care, knowledge, and respect for the marine environment.

The book combines accessible storytelling with scientific accuracy, introducing children to the early stages of fish development, sustainability, and responsible food production.

Author Dimitris Pafras shares:

“Fish farming feeds millions of people across the globe, yet it is rarely explained to children in a meaningful way. With this book, I wanted to build a bridge between the next generation and the sea — a world full of life, science, responsibility, and hope. Education for sustainability starts in childhood.”

The book’s enchanting illustrations, created by Katerina Neokazi, bring the underwater world to life in vivid colour and emotion, captivating the imagination of children, parents, and educators alike.

 What the book offers:

• An engaging introduction to aquaculture
