Microalgae as fish health boosters via aquafeeds
Description Microboost is an EEA Grants funded project, which aims to develop microalgae-based functional aquafeeds, to improve fish health and resilience to pathogens. We will work with Nannochloropsis sp. and Euglena gracilis, and develop novel aquafeed products, to promote fish immunity and overall health. On the one hand, we will sellect strains and improve cultivation methods to drive […]
Reusing Effluents from Agriculture to unlock the potential of Microalgae
Description REALM will transform nutrient-rich drain waters from soilless farms into value, by producing microalgae at reduced costs while treating water and capturing CO2 from the air. This concept will increase the circularity and profitability of microalgal production and soilless farming. The NordAqua and ALGACYCLE projects (NordForsk and EEA, respectively) have shown the feasibility of […]
