It is written AgrI-fiSh (H2020-PRIMA21), it reads as the application of the circular economy concept to the agri-food sector with the aim of producing innovative and sustainable feed to be used in resilient aquaculture activities, even in mountainous areas, using mainly organic farming waste products. Developed within the framework of this project, this observational system allows real-time monitoring of numerous chemical-physical parameters of the aquatic environment where the trout live, in order to evaluate any changes during the administration and consumption of the feed. The experiment ended on October 25, 2024.
The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
