Description
ParaFishControl was a five-year project funded by EU Horizon 2020, aimed at increasing the sustainability and competitiveness of the European aquaculture industry by improving the understanding of fish-parasite interactions and by developing innovative solutions and tools for the prevention, control and mitigation of the most harmful parasitic species affecting the main European farmed fish species.
Tangible results: The project developed a unique tool that enables farmers to identify the risk of parasite infection and indicates the most appropriate and effective management strategy for parasites in terms of site characteristics and husbandry practices.
Application/relevance: The project developed Fish Farmer's Guides to Combating Parasitic Infections in Salmonid, Turbot, Common Carp, European Sea Bass, and Gilthead Sea Bream Aquacultures that are ready-to-use by end-users.
