"A new integrative framework for the study of fish welfare based on the concepts of allostasis, appraisal and coping styles" (COPEWELL)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"COPEWELL aims to provide a better understanding of the underpinning mechanisms and basic knowledge about the physiology, biology, and behaviour of fishes and to give a deeper understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in coping styles. We will use an innovative hypothesis-driven multidisciplinary approach that aims to explore the links between brain function, behaviour and adaptive plastici ...

Research & technological development to improve economic profitability and environmental Sustainability of sea Urchin farming (RESURCH)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Sea urchin roe (gonad) is consumed worldwide, and is considered a luxury product which sells for lucrative prices in a number of markets. Because the demand for sea urchin roe - called “uni” in sushi bars - has grown dramatically over the past decade, many traditional fisheries have been heavily overfished and subsequently virtually depleted of sea urchins.Because of its great commercial value and ...

Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society (ACCESS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The Arctic is engaged in a deep climatic evolution. This evolution is quite predictable at short (year) and longer scales (several decades), but it is the decadal intermediate scale that is the most difficult to predict. This is because the natural variability of the system is large and dominant at this scale, and the system is highly non linear due to positive and negative feedback between sea ic ...

Multi-sensor automated water quality monitoring and control system for continuous use in recirculation aquaculture systems (AQUALITY)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

EU aquaculture currently produces around 1.3 million tonnes a year, with a value of some EUR 2.9 billion and employs about 65 000 people. This level represents 18 % of EU fish production but only 2 % of world aquaculture production. Catches of wild fish levelled off in the 1980s but between 1973 and 2003 world fish consumption doubled According to FAO estimates 47 % of all fish for human consumpti ...

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 ...

Assessing the causes and developing measures to prevent the escape of fish from sea-cage aquaculture (Prevent Escape)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

The escape of fish from sea-cage aquaculture is perceived as a serious threat to natural biodiversity in Europe's marine waters. Escaped fish may cause undesirable genetic effects in native populations through interbreeding, and ecological effects through predation, competition and the transfer of diseases to wild fish. Technical and operational failures of fish farming technology cause escapes. C ...

Multidisciplinary Approach to Practical and Acceptable Precision Livestock Farming for SMEs in Europe and world-wide (BRIGHTANIMAL)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

BrightAnimal will contribute to economically, socially and environmentally sustainable development by outlining a practical and acceptable methodology for precision livestock farming. To achieve this goal, BrightAnimal has the following mission: To produce a framework for European and non-European small and medium enterprises on effective and acceptable precision livestock farming and to create a ...
