European Microalgae Alliance: Innovative, Safe, And Sustainable Multiproduct Biorefineries For A Blue Biobased Economy

Description The European algae industry has grown significantly over recent decades, primarily serving niche high-value markets such as food supplements and nutraceuticals. However, with the increasing demand for alternative food ingredients and bio-based chemicals—driven by the EU’s push towards a bio-based economy—the market for microalgae-based products is expected to expand. Despite this potential, high production […]

Cutaneous Biomarkers: Advancing Health and Sustainability in Salmonid Aquaculture

Description The salmon aquaculture industry faces a huge health challenge with recurrent sea lice infestations.  There is a strong interest in finding solutions that can mitigate the harmful impacts of this parasite on salmon production. Through the SKINS co-promotion project, the companies RIASEARCH and SPAROS, in partnership with ENESII (UTAD, ICBAS, CIIMAR, GreenCoLab and S2AQUA) […]

Diversification and sustainable production in Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture

Description The AQUADIVERSIFY project aims to implement a multitrophic aquaculture system that integrates the production of fish, algae, and sea cucumbers. Currently, this type of production on a commercial scale does not exist in Portugal. By integrating these three trophic levels, the project seeks to enhance economic profitability through the creation of higher value-added products […]
