EU Aquaculture Assistance Mechanism

Large-scale piloting and market maturation of a novel process for sustainable European lobster aqua- and mariculture (SELAM)

Description

SELAM was a three-year project funded by EU Horizon 2020, aimed at commercialising, and bringing to market exclusive and high-quality EU lobsters based on a disruptive and fully automated production process.

Tangible results: The project developed an automated production system for juvenile lobsters, which consists of an Automated Incubation System (AIS), and an Automated Release System (ARS).

Application/relevance: The project improves the hatchery technology and shellfish sea/ocean ranching, resulting in sustainable and high-quality farmed EU lobsters that are to reach end customers.
