Benthic ecosystem fisheries Impact Study (BENTHIS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
Benthic ecosystems provide important goods and services, such as fisheries products and supporting, regulation and cultural services. There is serious concern about the adverse impact of fisheries on benthic ecosystem which may negatively affect the fisheries yield and integrity of the sea bed. To develop an integrated approach to the management of human activities in the marine environment, in pa ...

Multi-sensor automated water quality monitoring and control system for continuous use in recirculation aquaculture systems (AQUALITY)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
EU aquaculture currently produces around 1.3 million tonnes a year, with a value of some EUR 2.9 billion and employs about 65 000 people. This level represents 18 % of EU fish production but only 2 % of world aquaculture production. Catches of wild fish levelled off in the 1980s but between 1973 and 2003 world fish consumption doubled According to FAO estimates 47 % of all fish for human consumpti ...

INNOVATIVE REARING AND STUNNING OF FARMED TURBOT AND SOLE TO MEET FUTURE CHALLENGES REGARDING QUALITY OF PRODUCTION AND ANIMAL WELFARE (MAXIMUS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is identified as one of the most promising candidates for marine aquaculture in Europe, with several characteristics that make it an interesting species for commercial growers and European consumers. The species has tremendous potential as an aquaculture species but many of its attributes are currently unexploited utilize. European production of turbot has been increa ...
