We are pleased to announce the publication of the first scientific paper from the INNOAQUA Project, titled “Integrated use of algae in sustainable aquaculture practices: A step toward the circular economy” in the prestigious journal Bioresource Technology. This groundbreaking research represents a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize the aquaculture industry with sustainable and innovative practices.
Authored by INNOAQUA project coordinator: NORCE Research Center, the paper explores novel approaches to integrating algae into aquaculture systems. Algae, with their versatile applications, offer promising solutions to several key challenges faced by the industry, such as:
- Reducing environmental impact: Utilizing algae to recycle nutrients and minimize waste in aquaculture systems.
- Sustainability enhancement: Creating circular systems where by-products from aquaculture become inputs for algae cultivation, reducing reliance on external resources.
- Innovative food applications: Highlighting the potential of algae as a high-value food source for both humans and aquaculture species.
The research combines cutting-edge ecological, circularity, and digitalization concepts to pave the way for a more resilient and diversified aquaculture industry in Europe and beyond.
