Aquaculture infrastructures for excellence in European research

CONTEXT

By integrating 40 top European aquaculture research facilities, AQUAEXCEL3.0 provides a world-class platform for aquaculture research, from biology to technology, in all types of farming systems, covering all major EU farmed species as well as the most promising new species.

OBJECTIVE

AQUAEXCEL3.0 aims to provide the aquaculture research community and industry with new user-driven services to promote both scientific excellence and innovation.

About the <br><strong>project </strong>

Building on two previous AQUAEXCEL projects, it will provide expanded access to high quality services and resources, covering all scientific areas relevant to aquaculture research and innovation (genetics, technology, immunology, physiology, nutrition (…). The project also includes new nanosensors and isogenic lines developed in previous projects.

AQUAEXCEL3.0 will broaden its scope to include crustaceans, macro-algae and recyclers (insects, marine worms).

A total of 193 transnational access projects are planned. They will significantly strengthen the global leadership of European aquaculture research and advance the implementation of EATiP’s strategic research agenda, with a flexible focus over time on key industry issues.
