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 ...

Increasing Industrial Resource Efficiency in European Mariculture (IDREEM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"The proposal IDREEM will create smarter greener growth for one of Europe’s most important industrial sectors: the aquaculture industry. It will achieve this through taking waste streams that are at present lost to the environment (as pollution) and converting them into secondary raw materials for the production of high value organisms such as seaweed and shellfish. To do this IDREEM will develop, ...

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 ...

Development of a wind-wave power open-sea platform equipped for hydrogen generation with support for multiple users of energy (H2OCEAN)

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

The rational exploitation of oceans’ space and resources is increasingly seen as crucial to enhance European competitiveness in key areas such as Renewable Energy and Aquaculture. The H2OCEAN consortium aims at developing an innovative design for an economically and environmentally sustainable multi-use open-sea platform. The H2OCEAN platform will harvest wind and wave power, using part of the ene ...

Bridging the gap between science and producers to support the European marine mollusc production sector (EUROSHELL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Under the acronym EUROSHELL, this proposal will provide solutions to identified challenges that may constrain the transfer of knowledge to the shellfish sector and thus affect its sustainable development.It will focus on identification of the underlying factors that inhibit effective knowledge management in the sector and provide regional forums to facilitate dialogue between shellfish companies ...

Improvement of feeds and feeding efficiency for seabass in cage farms in the Mediterranean (eFISHent)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

In 2005 the total world production of sea bass reached 80,000 tons. The estimated amount of feed used to support this production was 150,000 tons valued at about € 100 million. Notwithstanding the increase in production, producer’s profit margins are squeezed by i) the increase in price of feed ingredients, and ii) the decline/instability of fish prices. Feed costs account for up to 60% of total p ...

IMPLEMENTATION OF NATURAL SPAWNING FOR MARINE FISH SPECIES IN CULTURE - IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF OFF-SPRING AND ANIMAL WELFARE (PROSPAWN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

In general, marine fish species have a very short period (a “quality window” of few hours) when ovulated eggs are of outstanding quality and when fertilization results in high quality embryos and juveniles. Environmental conditions and broodstock tank construction should therefore be conducive to the occurrence of natural spawning, ensuring the collection of embryos of the highest possible quality ...

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 ...

Inter-regional network to promote sustainable development in the marine algal industry (NETALGAE)

Start date: Dec 31, 2009, End date: Dec 30, 2012,

The macroalgae industry is mainly based on harvesting of natural resources of macroalgae. Worldwide macroalgae production increases by 5.7% every year, in 2008 nearly 14 mill tons of macroalgae was produced from capture and aquaculture. In Europe the production has decreased in the last 10 years. The further expansion of the industry depends on sustainable increased access to raw material, develop ...

ENRICHMENT OF AQUACULTURE IMPLANTS BY INTRODUCTION OF NEW MARINE SPECIES FROM THE WILD TO BREEDING (ENRICH)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2011,

"We propose a two years work, aiming at optimising sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus rearing, in order to enrich pre-existing aquaculture farms (based on sea bass, bream, and/or different bivalves) . Sea urchin breeding will be performed starting from adult specimens obtained from capture. Sea urchin roe (gonads) are first class food and are worldwide commercialised. This project arises from the in ...
