Descrizione del progetto
La pesca per un’acquacoltura più sana
Nell’Unione europea ci sono circa 12 500 imprese di acquacoltura, per lo più microimprese con meno di 10 dipendenti. Sebbene il volume della produzione dell’UE sia aumentato del 2,2 % annuo tra il 2014 e il 2016 e il valore della stessa del 3,1 %, l’acquacoltura è stagnante rispetto ai tassi di produzione globale. L’obiettivo del progetto ALGABOOSTER è contribuire a rendere il settore europeo dell’acquacoltura competitivo e sostenibile. Il mangime avanzato arricchito con un complesso immunostimolante a base di microalghe marine stimolerà il sistema immunitario e la crescita dei pesci e attenuerà gli effetti dello stress, il tutto in modo naturale. Tale mangime è stato testato scientificamente e garantisce una significativa riduzione dei tassi di mortalità. ALGABOOSTER ha inoltre dimostrato un sostanziale aumento della qualità del prodotto finale.
Obiettivo
The EU aquaculture sector is of high importance for the EU economy. However, EU aquaculture producers lag behind the
global competitors that offer cheap products of much lower production costs and quality standards. In order to support EU
producers in this highly competitive market, it is crucial to address their production inefficiencies: 20% mortality rates and
long growth periods. The current solutions, namely use of antibiotics for mortality reduction and aquafeed with incorporated
fishmeal and fish oil for improved growth, are inefficient, costly and extremely unsustainable. Consequently, there is a high
need in the EU aquaculture sector for alternatives that can improve production efficiency in a sustainable, environmentallyfriendly
and antibiotic-free manner.
In this context, and basing on the excellent properties of marine microalgae, we have developed ALGABOOSTER -
advanced aquafeed enriched with marine microalgae immunostimulant complex to boost fish immune system and growth as
well as buffer the effects of stress, all in a natural way.
The Unique Selling Points of ALGABOOSTER are:
(i) whole-cell microalgae complex of high purity biomass of three marine microalgae species,
(ii) perfectly-preserved microalgae ingredient ensuring thanks to a novel microencausulation process ensuring premium quality product,
(iii) safe in use as the functional ingredient is incorporated into aquafeed (no risk of overdose),
(iv) 100% non-animal and sustainably sourced (no fishmeal, no fish oil),
(v) adjusted to support normal feed in two growth stages
Our product has been scientifically tested and guarantees significant reduction in mortality rates and growth cycle duration
as well as a substantial increase in quality of the final product. Via ALGABOOSTER´s administration, the production
efficiency is enhanced, and aquaculture producers obtain a revolutionary increase in their profit margins.
