Marieke Reuver – marieke@erinn.eu
Jane Maher – jane@erinn.eu
Objectives:
This Work Package’s main aim is to ensure effective capacity building, external communication and dissemination of AQUAEXCEL3.0 results and knowledge (including from TNA projects), and so contributing to socio-economic impact and promotion of innovation in the European aquaculture sector. We will specifically:
Work Package 4:
Technological tools for improved
experimental procedures
experimental procedures
Lead partner:
SINTEF Ocean AS
WP leader:
Eleni Kelasidi
Eleni.Kelasidi@sintef.no
Objectives:
This Work Package aims to investigate and propose technological tools that will contribute to improved experimental procedures through 1) virtual representations of TNA-infrastructures (Virtual TNA) using an advanced and diversified virtual laboratory with realistic models of aquaculture infrastructures, 2) advanced knowledge on the use of biotelemetry in aquaculture research and identify the best practice for how biotelemetry may be used to study fish in different infrastructure types, and 3) establishment and validation of the use of nanopore technologies for real-time monitoring of microbial communities in experimental infrastructures. WP4 will build upon the results of AQUAEXCEL2020 (esp. Virtual Laboratories and the implanted biosensor FishBIT) to optimize the use of experimental resources, improve experimental design and test power and provide services directly implementable in TNA facilities. The specific objectives of WP4 are to develop:
Work Package 5:
New biological models for aquaculture
research using innovative biotechnologies
research using innovative biotechnologies
Lead partner:
INRAE
WP leader:
Jean-Jacques Lareyre
jean-jacques.lareyre@inra.fr
Objectives:
The global objective of WP5 is to develop innovative biotechnologies that will overcome the difficulties encountered in the production and long-term maintenance of in vivo and in vitro biological models relevant for the acquisition of basic and applied knowledge in different fields of aquaculture research (reproduction, growth, nutrition, immunity, product quality for human consumption). In addition, WP5 will contribute to reduce or even replace the use of experimental fish. Specifically, the aims are to develop:
