Poster.-- Aquaculture Europe 2021, Funchal, Madeira, 4-7 October, Aquaculture industry is increasingly incorporating principles of circular economy and zero waste to find alternative ingredients for aquafeeds. The reduction of fishmeal and fish oil inclusion is an established principle in contemporary fish feed formulations. Hence, by-products from other industries, such as rendered animal proteins, are progressively being used. Aquaculture production is seeking for functional ingredients that may enhance fish resilience and robustness, in face of the suboptimal conditions that may be imposed by the rearing procedures and new dietary formulations, This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 818173 and by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Portugal) through project UIDB/04326/2020 to CCMAR and contract DL 57/2016/CP1361/CT0033 to CA, No

Aquaculture Europe 2021, Funchal, Madeira, 4-7 October, In 2020 world population was projected to increase from 7.8 billion to 9.9 billion by 2050 (http://worldpopulationreview.com). To overcome the stagnation of wild fisheries in supplying seafood for the growing population, Aquaculture will need to address several technical challenges to secure food demand (FAO, 2020). One of the challenges is to expand the number of sustainable raw materials to increase flexibility in the formulation of highly nutritious aquafeeds, This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 818173 and by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Portugal) through project UIDB/04326/2020 to CCMAR and contract DL 57/2016/CP1361/CT0033 to CA., No

Aquaculture Europe 2022, International Conference & Exposition, September 27-30 2022, Rimini, Italy, Aquaculture industry is a key animal production sector to secure the future food demand. Expanding the number of raw materials will increase flexibility in the formulation of highly nutritious aquafeeds and the sustainability of the sector. The inclusion of mussel meal originated from mussel aquaculture side-streams in aquafeeds will contribute to the valorisation of aquaculture value-chains and to the circular economy approach in the industry.
The present study aimed to evaluate gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) juveniles growth performance, feed utilisation, nutrient apparent digestibility, and nitrogen outputs to the environment when fed experimental diets with mussel meal as the main source of marine-derived protein, This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 818173 and by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Portugal) through projects UIDB/04326/2020, UIDP/04326/2020, LA/P/0101/2020 to CCMAR and contract DL 57/2016/CP1361/CT0033 to CA, No

Aquaculture Europe 2022, International Conference & Exposition, September 27-30 2022, Rimini, Italy, AquaVitae (AV) is a research and innovation project funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 program. AV’s overall objective is to introduce new, and expand existing, low trophic species (LTS) products and processes to marine aquaculture value chains across the Atlantic. The value chains that AV focuses on include macroalgae, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, echinoderms, underutilized shellfish species and low trophic finfish species. Moreover, AV includes analysis of value chains, market development and profitability, and other biological and socioeconomic aspects, including sustainability, environmental monitoring, and risk assessment of LTS aquaculture, This research is supported by the European Union’s H2020 Research and Innovation program within the collaborative project “AQUAVITAE– New species, processes and products contributing to increased production and improved sustainability in emerging low trophic, and existing low and high trophic aquaculture value chains in the Atlantic” under Grant Agreement No. 818173, No
