Project - AquaVitae
“New species, processes and products contributing to increased production and improved sustainability in emerging low trophic, and existing low and high trophic aquaculture value chains in the Atlantic”
AquaVitae aims to increase aquaculture production in and around the Atlantic Ocean by developing new species, processes and products. The focus of the project is placed on low trophic species (e.g. algae, echinoderms, shellfish), contributing to the circular economy and the Belém Statement.
AquaVitae will offer new opportunities to enhance the environmental, societal and economical wealth of aquacultures communities. The project will implement 11 case studies across the Atlantic basin (Europe, Africa, South America) taking into account several cross-cutting issues: biosensors, Internet of Things, market potential, sustainability, business and socio-economic analysis, policy framework and training.
The project will work to create real and meaningful collaboration between researchers, industry and other aquaculture stakeholders in the Atlantic area.
One of the main expected results of the project would be the creation of real and meaningful collaborative links between researchers, industry and other aquaculture stakeholders in the Atlantic area.
Ocean Rainforest Sp/F is leading the case study: Sustainable offshore macroalgae cultivation. This case study aims to further develop the cultivation and processing capacity at Ocean Rainforest and identify possibilities for expansion of macroalgal production in other areas of the Atlantic Ocean. The case study will contain:
- Establishing and proving the feasibility of large scale offshore sustainable macroalgal cultivation with optimized logistics and production levels.
- Facilitating upscaling and replication of large scale offshore sustainable macroalgal cultivation by identifying testing characteristics of suitable sites and species.
- Performing validation based on quantified ecosystem service measurements with respect to obtained CO2 credits and nutrient mitigation.
