In line with the objectives of the circular economy and the zero pollution action plan, successful proposals will facilitate the large-scale deployment of industrial bio-based systems. These systems will contribute to new EU strategy for a...
Salmon farming in marine net pens is a major activity in many temperate regions.
This industry may affect coastal ecosystems in several ways, such as with waste pollution and parasite spillover. Less is known about the extent to which salmon farming...

Modelling potential impacts of salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis on Atlantic
salmon Salmo salar requires estimation of the levels that cause serious sub-lethal physiological impacts and direct mortality. This document analyses results from existing...
Fish are thought to settle and recruit to shellfish and seaweed farms; however, there is little published evidence to support this assumption. This document include findings that provide foundational quantitative evidence of the interactions that...
As the aquaculture sector continues to expand, there is likely to be a growing need to combat infectious diseases. The desire for rapid and effective results means that any concerns about longer-term effects of disease controls are often sidelined...
In aquaculture, infectious diseases triggered by viruses are amongst the major cause of mortality of farmed fish. The aim of this review is compiling the information available concerning reassortant viruses affecting fish species of relevance for...
Worldwide, current mussel and seaweed aquaculture practices contribute to the increase of fossil fuel-based plastic gears at sea, leading to marine litter and microplastics generation. Smart aquaculture has a great potential for shifting towards the...
Particulate waste from open-cage fish farms in marine systems can cause organic enrichment of seabed habitats and enter the food web through consumption by wild organisms, with potential for broader ecosystem changes. Expected expansion of the...
Utilising novel ingredients in aquafeeds is necessary for the continued expansion and intensification of aquaculture production. In this review, the processing of microalgae utilised as aquafeed ingredient, the health promoting compounds in...
