About
MARINET tackles specific common challenges of the Adriatic aquaculture aiming to improve biosecurity, environmental sustainability and economic viability of Adriatic cross border regions by leveraging innovative welfare fish farming and testing integrated mariculture approaches and sharing them with SMEs with the collaboration of administrative support on regional and national level.
Our focus is environmental monitoring and disease prevention by developing and utilizing state-of-the-art tools like AI-driven environmental and disease risk alert to safeguard marine ecosystems and implementing advanced vaccines and robust protocols to minimize disease risks in fish farming and bioeconomic models to analyse economic viability and benefits. At the same time innovations such as spat collectors for Flat Oyster Production and integrated mariculture assessments will be done to create comprehensive guidelines to optimize oyster farming to diversify production and enhance market competitiveness. The scientific partners’ results from the previous AdriAquaNet project will be capitalised, upgraded with the commitment to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by sharing our research, guidelines, and technological advancements and best practices supported by administrative collaboration. Furthermore, we aim to elevate consumer confidence by emphasizing the nutritional quality and safety of aquaculture products through marketing evaluation, assessing and improving product perception.
Join us in revolutionizing aquaculture in the Adriatic, ensuring a sustainable, secure, and prosperous future for all.
