Start year 2020 End year 2022 Funding (€) € 1,275,970 Website https://aquatech4feed.atb-potsdam.de/de/project Summary The aim of AquaTech4Feed is to formulate novel fish feed from alternative proteinaceous biomass sources, such as algae, duckweed, insects and microbiomes (bioflocs) in order to improve fish production and product quality. AquaTech4Feed will develop a novel sustainable aquaculture production process based on the production of proteinaceous feed utilizing aquaculture wastewater and wastes.
The production process will consist of a closed recirculation system for recycling of nutrients and water for improved biosafety. New technologies and methods will be applied in order to ensure that the novel feeds are safe to be utilized in the feeding process. The project
includes feeding trials with lumpfish, salmon and sea bream in order to assess fish production and to define production and quality benchmarks.
