Imagine trying to farm fish while the water gets warmer and the environment changes unpredictably. This project creates a toolkit of practical fixes, like breeding tougher fish and using digital alarms for algae blooms. It also turns waste, like pond sludge, into useful products instead of letting it pollute.
Aquaculture producers face rising risks from climate change, such as algae blooms and temperature shifts, while struggling to meet strict CO2 emission reporting and sustainability standards.
A suite of prototypes including biochar production from sludge, low-emission nets, digital forecasting tools for sea lice, and CO2 self-assessment templates.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with high carbon footprints in your product line — this project developed nets and pens with significantly reduced emissions that lower the environmental impact of fish farming.
If you are a software provider dealing with unpredictable sea lice or algae blooms — this project developed digital tools for forecasting and managing these threats to protect fish stocks.
If you are a waste processor dealing with freshwater aquaculture sediments — this project developed a way to upcycle sludge into biochar, turning a waste problem into a sellable product.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the prototypes and tools is not provided as the project is in the implementation and testing phase.
The project aims to deliver scalable and replicable solutions, including prototypes and proofs of concept that are evaluated at different sites to ensure they can be deployed across various supply chains.
Based on available project data, there are no specific details on licensing terms, though the project focuses on delivering exploitable solutions for the aquaculture sector.
The project provides guidelines for meeting sustainability reporting requirements and policy recommendations to fill gaps in climate-resilient production.
The project runs from 2025-05-01 to 2029-04-30, meaning solutions will be tested and refined over this four-year period.
The project is heavily industry-driven, with a 45% industry ratio comprising 10 industrial partners and 5 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 22 partners across 10 countries, suggests the resulting tools are designed for real-world market adoption rather than just academic study.
