- Artificial wetland with halophytes
Integrated marine aquaculture with halophytes
Integrated aquaculture systems, such as the combination of seafish and salt-tolerant plants (halophytes), will define the state-of-the-art technology in the future, as they enable extensive recycling of water, nutrients and energy. Continue
- Laboratory with microalgae cultures
Integrated marine aquaculture with microalgae
The goal is the integration of photoautotrophic methods, such as the production of microalgae, in order to regain dissolved nutrients from the seafish production of land-based recirculating aquaculture systems as new high-valuable biomass. Continue
- Black Tiger Shrimp, Penaeus monodon
Prawn fry production
The project proved the application of oceanloop technology to farm Black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) in Germany. The project focused on a sustainable artificial propagation and controlled fry breeding in bio-secure recirculation systems to support Asian aquaculture. Continue
- Ragworm, Nereis diversicolor
Integrated marine aquaculture with polychaetes
The discharged sludge of fish production in recirculating aquaculture systems, which contains fecel matter, remaining food particles and bacterial biomass, can be used by invertebrates, which feed on it to gain new valuable biomass. Continue
- European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax
Poly integrated seawater aquaculture (PISA)
This project proved the biological, technical and economical feasibility of the oceanloop concept in production scale. Since 2004 the PISA system has been operated inland (Uetze/Eltze, Hannover region, Germany) with European seabass. Continue
