ULTFARMS aims to move beyond the current Low Trophic Aquaculture (LTA) systems with novel engineering, technical, ecological and biological processes to better production potential in harsh offshore conditions and/or low-salinities while supporting their integration with Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs). The project will engage research and industry in co-developing and co-managing novel designs and operations in six LTA pilots in OWF locations across the North and Baltic seas. The ambition is to advance LTA in offshore hostile environments while safeguarding the environment, minimizing carbon footprints, and addressing commercially viability. Doing so raises interconnected technical, engineering, logistical, ecological and biological challenges. Demonstrating the feasibility of such while working towards replicability and transferability of this knowledge is key to the aims of ULTFARMS.
