Tools for Assessment and Planning of Aquaculture Sustainability (TAPAS)
Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 29, 2020,
Aquaculture is one of five sectors in the EU's Blue Growth Strategy, aimed at harnessing untapped potential for food production and jobs whilst focusing on environmental sustainability. TAPAS addresses this challenge by supporting member states to establish a coherent and efficient regulatory framework aimed at sustainable growth. TAPAS will use a requirements analysis to evaluate existing regulat ...

Integrated aquaculture based on sustainable water recirculating system for the Victoria Lake Basin (VicInAqua) (VicInAqua)
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2019,
VicInAqua will follow an integrated approach in order to develop a sustainable combined sanitation and recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) for wastewater treatment and reuse in agriculture in the Victoria Lake Basin area. In this decentralized integrated treatment system wastewater from households and fish processing industry as well as RAS production water will radically reduce stress on the ...

Sustainable Water treatment and Nutrient reuse options (SUWANU)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Agricultural practices put the biggest pressure on fresh water resources for irrigation (55% of the water use in Europe) and on fertilizer usage. The European farmers face serious problems such as freshwater scarcity and nutrient availability, extreme climate conditions and the growing demand of the increasing population. This results in rising prices for mineral fertilizers and food, risky measur ...

Maximisation of greenhouse horticulture production with low quality irrigation waters (CARBGROWTH)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
Agriculture in the European Union faces some serious challenges in the coming decades:competition for water resources, rising costs, competition for international markets, changes in climate and uncertainties in the effectiveness of current European policies as adaptation strategies. Greenhouse production appears as an alternative to face some of the upcoming challenges. In 2009, the surface dedic ...

Development of novel system for continuous remote monitoring of weight, growth, and size distribution of fish in aquaculture enclosures (FishScan)
Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,
Today there is ±5% error in estimation of biomass in fish farming. This represents € 91M in loss for the European fish farming industry. Around 80 % of all sales of farmed fish are arranged pre-harvest. To make profit on the sale, farmers and processors are dependent on correct estimations of weight, size distribution and total biomass. Furthermore, fish feed constitutes 50% of the production co ...

Development and implementation of an innovative cleaning technology for marine and freshwater larval hatchery tanks in recirculating aquaculture systems (CLEANHATCH)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"The current lack of cost-effective and efficient cleaning technologies in both freshwater and marine larval hatchery tanks in recirculating aquaculture systems is a substantial drawback for both technology-providing and fish farming SMEs in Europe. Bacterial biofilms constantly and quickly develop on all surfaces in the tanks and endanger the production of high quality and quantity fry which is a ...
