Aquaculture,also known as aquafarming, is the farming of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, aquatic plants, algae, and other organisms. Aquaculture involves cultivating freshwater and saltwater populations under controlled conditions, and can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is the harvesting of wild fish. Mariculture refers to aquaculture practiced in marine environments and in underwater habitats.

Call for tenders Scaling-up EU cultivation of shellfish and algae Biomass provides about 60% of the EU’s renewable energy. Scenarios for meeting the EU’s objective of carbon neutrality by 2050 suggest that more will be needed which puts pressure on land resources. Can we get more food from the ocea? |

Algae, shellfish and nutrients Non-fed aquaculture can produce protein with a very low carbon footprint. It can also absorb the nutrients that lead to eutrophicatuion in our seas. Can an expansion of aquaculture reduce eutrophication? Are there enough nutrients? What is impact on fishing? This project will find out. Start date: 14/12/2021 (All day) Last update: 14/12/21 |
