New Technologies, Tools and Strategies for a Sustainable, Resilient and Innovative European Aquaculture (NewTechAqua)

Description

Short description of the project: NewTechAqua is a three-year project funded by EU Horizon 2020, aimed at expanding and diversifying European aquaculture production of finfish, molluscs and microalgae by developing and validating technologically-advances, resilient and sustainable applications.

Tangible results: The project is in the process of developing and testing new solutions. For instance, innovative formulations in relation to prohealth feeds, zerowaste feeds and organic feeds have already been tested at lab level and are still yet to be demonstrated in the field. In addition, NewTechAqua project is organising a Training Programme to provide the necessary skills for a sustainable, resilient, and innovative European Aquaculture.

Application/relevance:  NewTechAqua will demonstrate that investment in sustainable aquaculture research and innovation leads to the creation of new value chains, markets, growth and jobs in coastal, offshore and landlocked areas.
