A new H2020 EU Project!!2018-05-13
Researchers of Fish Nutrigenomics and Fish Pathology Groups of the Institute of Aquaculture Torre la Sal (IATS-CSIC) together with researchers of the Institute of Marine Research of Vigo (IIM-CSIC) participate in the GAIN Project “Green Aquaculture Intensification in Europe”, 2018-2022
The Project with a total budget of 6 million euros is coordinated by the University of Venice.
The consortium is made by 21 parners, including SMEs, Universities and Research Institutes.
The main objectives of the project are:
i) Develop and optimize sustainable feeds, without increasing the pressure on land and fish stocks
ii) Add value to cultivation, by means of innovative processes, which turn both by-products and side-streams into valuable secondary materials, thus increasing profits and minimizing the environmental footprint
(iii) Improve the management of finfish and shellfish farms, in terms of FCR, fish welfare and reduction of wastes, through the use of sensors, biomarkers, Big Data, IoT (Internet of Things) and predictive mathematical models
iv) Support integrated policies and address current barriers to the implementation of the principles of circular economy in aquatic production.
