Development of a novel production system for intensive and cost effective bivalve farming (ShellPlant)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

The ShellPlant project proposes to develop a plant for closed production of bivalves (primarily high valued scallops and oysters). The plant will include a cultivating system for bivalves in an innovative rack system, an algae photo bioreactor and a feeding and water exchange system with intelligent controls. The coordinator company Bioframe has done several tests with a floating closed system for ...
