The aquatic products sector
in action

Real-time data from an underwater weather station BiOceanOr’s AquaREAL water quality assistant provides real-time data to farmers and customers. This enables aquaculture producers to predict environmental changes and proactively manage risks. This innovation can work with different types of sensors and monitoring devices. It benefits aquaculture by improving downstream applications, stimulating fish growth and ensuring […]

The guidelines set out four objectives: to strengthen resilience and competitiveness to participate in the green transition ensuring social acceptance and consumer information; and increasing knowledge and innovation.   To achieve these objectives, the European Commission has published two working documents designed to help EU Member States promote sustainable growth in aquaculture.

CIRCALGAE’s simple, water-based technologies allow upcycling of these waste streams into value-added ingredients to be used in specific texturized vegan foods, protein rich feed, health-promoting ingredients and cosmetic formulations, in 12 demonstrator products, 2 of which will be qualified for market. Through co-creating and co-learning, CIRCALGAE aims to connect all algae cross-sectional actors for the […]

The webinar began with a presentation on environmental contaminants in the aquatic products sector by Karine Bertholon from the DGAL, followed by a presentation of the project results by Marie Bruaut from AQUIMER. At the end of the webinar, participants were able to exchange views with project coordinator Begoña Espiña from INL. You can find […]

Project results: The first stage involved a literature review based on the latest scientific knowledge available on the environmental footprint of marine products as well as the latest ecological knowledge available. These data complement the various Lifecycle Analysis indicators to propose a methodology for improving the assessment of a product’s impact on marine biodiversity. The […]

The aim of the project is to develop a robust scientific methodology (using Sayari’s expertise) to assess the impact of fishing activities on marine biodiversity and apply it to a specific case study. The project partners: EURONOR, Sovintex and FromNord, are delighted to contribute to this project in support of sustainable development. For some years […]

The AQUIMER project managers took part in the four webinars in order to learn about the evolution of the programmes, the synergies between the different schemes and to be able to pass on to members the key elements for the aquatic products sector. You can watch the webinars in replay below:
