Targeted disease prophylaxis in European fish farming (TargetFish)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

European aquaculture production provides direct employment to 65.000 people with a turnover of 3 billion €. However, the lack of authorised veterinary medicinal products and the consequent disease outbreaks in farmed fish species costs the sector 20% of the production value. The most appropriate method for disease control, both on economical and ethical grounds, is disease prevention by vaccinatio ...

Advanced Research Initiatives for Nutrition & Aquaculture (ARRAINA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Sustainable development of European fish farming is dependent on the availability, environmental sustainability of feeds relying less and less on capture fisheries derived fishmeal and fish oil. The European aquaculture industry has made a determined shift towards the use of feeds based on alternative ingredients which continue to ensure the health and welfare of fish and the nutritional value of ...

Evolution and Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance (EVOTAR)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Antibiotics are essential therapeutics in the treatment of bacterial infections. However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria that pose a major threat to human health as options for treating infections by these bacteria have become limited. The evolution, emergence and spread ofantibiotic resistance genes are still only poorly understood ...

Capsule-based system to enable Precision Livestock Farming and eliminate escapees in marine aquaculture (AQUAFARMCONTROL)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

The consortium of SMEs in the AQUAFARMCONTROL project will pursue a large innovation and market opportunity through the development and demonstration of an innovative system to enable Precision Livestock Farming in marine aquaculture and to effectively eliminate the mounting and critical problem of escapes from fish pens. The system will be based on a multi-purpose capsule implanted in fish, in co ...

Reproduction of European Eel: Towards a Self-sustained Aquaculture (PRO-EEL)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

The recent decline of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and no signs of recovery has brought attention to the biologically unsustainable exploitation of the stock. In September 2007, the EU has adopted the Council Regulation 1100/2007 establishing measures for the recovery of the European eel stock. However, eel are still fished intensively for human consumption while aquaculture and restocking rel ...

Optimizing water quality and treatment efficency in recirculating aquaculture systems for salmon smolt production through better adjustment of fish feed and water treatment devices (feed&treat)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

The project target, is to improve the system performance of recirculating aquaculture systems for salmon smolt production by improving the treatability of the fish excrements and improving the treatment devices. The idea is to have a better tuning/adjustment between the feed as the only main input into a recirc. system and the water treatment as warrantor for the water quality and for the fish and ...

Training network on protective immune modulation in warm water fish by feeding glucans (NEMO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"The production of a young highly trained scientific group which will stimulate the development of a protection philosophy to disease is urgently needed in the European aquaculture and ornamental fisheries sector. The expansion of this important European commercial sector is also severely affected because of the lack of an industrial critical mass which would allow individual enterprises to establ ...

"Development of an automatic process of in-house collection, storage and application of adaptive bacteria culture for fish farms." (ADAPOND)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,

"Evidence from recirculation systems shows that new starters experience 30-80% loss in sales almost unavoidably in the first year during the adaption period of a biofilter, accompanied by the failure losses from fish medication and seasonal depressions counting summingly for more than €70-90M annually in Europe. Low reliability of biofilter systems are considered the main reason why people avoid e ...
