Intelligent management system for integrated multi-trophic aquaculture

Descripción del proyecto

Sentar las bases de una acuicultura multitrófica integrada y sostenible

La acuicultura es una sector importante en Europa y desempeña un papel fundamental en la lucha contra el cambio climático y la pérdida de biodiversidad. La acuicultura multitrófica integrada (AMTI) se ha posicionado como una novedad prometedora dentro del sector, ya que ofrece una mayor sostenibilidad y unos rendimientos potencialmente mayores. Sin embargo, a pesar de sus ventajas, el reto de supervisar, probar y gestionar la AMTI a gran escala ha obstaculizado su expansión. El proyecto IMPAQT, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene por objeto sentar las bases de la transición del sector europeo de la acuicultura hacia soluciones sostenibles y respetuosas con el medio ambiente. Su equipo tratará de lograrlo desarrollando y proporcionando las herramientas y la plataforma necesarias para abordar los problemas que obstaculizan la expansión de la AMTI. En el proyecto se demostrarán las ventajas de la AMTI mediante pruebas e innovaciones a través de seis iniciativas piloto.

Objetivo

The Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) is acknowledged as a promising solution for the sustainable development of aquaculture. However, IMTA has been only tested at very small scale in Europe, while management of large-scale IMTA areas remains difficult.
The high level ambition of Impaqt project is to drive a paradigm shift in the EU Industry and its , paving the way to both a more environmentally friendly and more efficient/higher yielding European Industry. To that respect, Impaqt proposes an intelligent management platform for IMTA. Impaqt will develop and deploy novel sensors and data sources, together with smart systems required for long term autonomous monitoring in the field. An advanced IMTA model will be provided which yields spatially explicit information on how the different farm components interact with the environment on the scale of an ecosystem and that can be used for planning decisions by both farmers and regulators. Last but not least, an integrated management system, operating at the scale of an IMTA farm and comprising analytics and decision support functionalities, will be developed to enable enhanced operational decisions for animal welfare, production optimization, environmental protection and food quality assessment.
Impaqt systems and models will be validated in 6 pilots (Scotland, The Netherlands, Ireland, Turkey and China), addressing inland, coastal and offshore aquaculture. Impaqt will demonstrate the eco-intensification of EU aquaculture, by demonstrating the eco-efficiency and the environmental impacts minimized, the socioeconomic benefits and ecosystem services enabled, as well as the transition towards a circular economy business model. Impaqt brings together a considerable range of partners including 14 academic/research organizations, 4 SMEs and 3 large industries, all leaders in their respective fields/business, while aims to effectively transfer the project’s results to relevant stakeholders through training activities.
