Innovation in Aquaculture
Strengthen the health of fish, consumers and the environment
Strengthen the health of fish, consumers and the environment
Aquaculture is responsible for providing more than half of the fish consumed globally. With the growing demand for nutritious, healthy and safe food for human consumption, aquaculture assumes greater relevance. The Pep4Fish project aims to find new diet solutions, based on innovative products (hydrolysates), with added value for the production of feed for aquaculture sea bass and sea bream. The products generated will help increase the robustness and resistance to stress and reduce bacterial infections in fish, increasing the final quality of the fish sold to the end consumer.
Pep4Fish is one of the major projects that make up the mobilizing agenda for business innovation of the Blue Bioeconomy Pact (PBA).
The Pep4Fish project involves a strong scientific research component, but also promotes an open and collaborative approach with industrial applicability, including significant investment in companies to increase the necessary production capacity. With this project, two new diets will be developed for the industry, one for sea bass and another for sea bream, based on four new hydrolysates produced in Portugal.
