EnviGuard – Development of a biosensor technology for environmental monitoring and disease prevention in aquaculture ensuring food safety (EnviGuard)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2018,

The objective of the EnviGuard project is to develop a highly specific and precise (i.e. quantitative and qualitative) in situ measurement device for currently hard to measure man-made chemical contaminants and biohazards (toxic microalgae, viruses & bacteria, biotoxins & PCBs) that can be used as an early warning system in aquaculture and as an environmental monitor to assess the good environment ...

Bio-engineered micro Encapsulation of Active agents Delivered to Shellfish (BEADS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,

"The project aims to continue with some exciting work following up a development in delivering active agents to bivalve molluscs through micro-encapsulation. The early work showed that bacteria with a potential in vitro to break down some algal toxins could be effectively delivered to the gut of the bivalve. The size and nature of the micro-capsule (bead) was shown to be key. The SMEs and Other in ...

Development of automated technology for large scale land based production of lobster juveniles and lobster to market size, including development of robotic feeding and imaging control system (LobsterPlant)

Start date: Sep 15, 2008, End date: Sep 14, 2011,

Strategic Objectives Addressed: The proposed project is focused on making large scale land based farming of European and American lobster feasible, both financially and practically, by developing automated technology for feeding and monitoring of each lobster individually. European and American lobster are cannibalistic in nature, and are therefore kept in individual housing cells demanding indiv ...
