Delta Futuro is aiming to develop a shellfish juvenile sustainable production model for aquaculture farming that will decrease the fluctuation of seed supply to farmers, while protecting the environment. Delta Futuro is developing a more efficient clam seed pre-fattening system by applying four innovations: 1. Semi-closed recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) for seed pre-fattening enabling growth to a resilient size, leading to high survival rates of approximately 90% when sewn in natural beds. 2. Programmable logic controller (PLC)-based system to enable automated monitoring of water quality, which will improve the management of the microalgae feed source and guarantee the shellfish reach a healthy productivity standard. 3. Patented high-tech portable hatchery to supply seeds which will be easy to set up independent of the type of site. 4. Bio-filtering system, designed to reduce the risk of nitrogen-rich water leaks into the environment. Delta Futuro is developing systems that are transferable and scalable to other species of clams.
