Intelligent management system for integrated multi-trophic aquaculture

Descrizione del progetto

Creare le basi per un’acquacoltura integrata multi-trofica e sostenibile

Il settore dell’acquacoltura è importante in Europa e svolge un ruolo cruciale nell’affrontare le questioni legate ai cambiamenti climatici e alla biodiversità. L’acquacoltura integrata multi-trofica è emersa come uno sviluppo promettente all’interno del settore, in grado di offrire una maggiore sostenibilità e rese potenzialmente più elevate. Tuttavia, nonostante i suoi vantaggi, la sfida di monitorare, testare e gestire l’acquacoltura integrata multi-trofica su larga scala ne ha ostacolato l’espansione. Il progetto IMPAQT, finanziato dall’UE, intende gettare le basi per la transizione del settore europeo dell’acquacoltura verso la sostenibilità e soluzioni ecologiche. A tal fine, cercherà di sviluppare e fornire le attrezzature e la piattaforma necessarie per affrontare i problemi che ostacolano l’espansione dell’acquacoltura integrata multi-trofica. Il progetto dimostrerà i benefici di quest’ultima attraverso la sperimentazione e l’innovazione di sei iniziative pilota.

Obiettivo

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.
