After more than four decades of production in the European Union, turbot (Psetta maxima) farming is a mature sector with a moderate growth trend (2.74% in 2020). Although up to seven countries started the production of this species, there are only...
Global aquaculture production has grown very rapidly in recent decades. This is largely due to a number of innovations that has increased the control with the production process and competitiveness. These innovations come in a number of forms from...
Marine aquaculture has the potential to increase its contribution to the global food system and provide valuable ecosystem services, but appropriate planning, licensing and regulation systems must be in place to enable sustainable development. At...
With the rapid growth of the aquaculture production since the 1980s, there has been a concomitant increase in disease outbreaks. The injudicious and/or incorrect use of antimicrobial agents against diseases of farmed aquatic species poses a...
The United Kingdom's first large-scale, offshore, long-line mussel farm deployed its first ropes in 2013 in Lyme Bay, southwest United Kingdom, located in an area of seabed that was heavily degraded due to historic bottom-towed fishing. It was...
Good water quality in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is crucial for ensuring the successful growth and survival of reared species. So far, there are no regulations for which parameters should be measured in RAS, and each farmer decides which...
Rethinking of our food systems is required under conditions of climate change, ecosystem degradation and increasing food demand. Food production in Europe must therefore transform to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, increase...
In this paper, it is presented a suggestion for a sustainability assessment framework using the genome editing of salmon as a case study. The salmon farming industry is facing several challenges hindering sustainable production. Genome editing has...
Short description of the project: MATES was a three-year project funded by Erasmus+ Programme, aimed at developing a skills strategy that addresses the main drivers of change to the maritime industry, in particular shipbuilding and offshore renewable...
Short description of the project: AQUAEXCEL3.0 is a five-year project funded by EU Horizon 2020, aimed at further boosting the EU aquaculture sector by expanding the Transnational Access programme to support more external research teams collaborating...
