Super-cooled fish supply chain (RD150)

The aim of this study is to develop and demonstrate approaches for super-cooling that can be implemented in the fresh fish industry. This...

Powering Aquaculture with Wave Energy (RD162)

Aqua Power Technologies wave energy converter, MANTA, is a submerged drag actuated point absorber, designed to hang 15-20 meters below a float which...

Modifying the Sumwing hydrofoil for fishing on hard ground (Rockwing) (RD214)

We will adapt the Sumwing trawl so it can used on hard ground. The Sumwing is a new beam trawl that uses a...

Enhancing lipophagy, a novel lipid catabolic pathway, for healthy and sustainable Atlantic salmon aquaculture (RD204)

In salmon, excess fat from food is stored inside special cells called adipocytes. Under homeostasis, excess fat is broken down into usable fragments...

Early warning system for infective sea lice: Development of holographic imaging for in-situ monitoring (RD201)

Sea lice infestations are a major barrier to sustainable expansion of salmon farming, causing significant welfare issues, reduced production, mortality, and impacts on...

ZOEX for Aquaculture (RD192)

Salmon farming is one of the most technologically advanced and highest value forms of aquaculture. It is generally carried out in latitudes where...

Rapid, Quantitative Field Test for Shellfish Toxins (RD189)

Aquaculture in the UK is essential for food security, and production is expected to double in the next two decades. The shellfish industry...

Smartrawl: a solution to discards and bycatch in trawl fisheries (RD174)

Smartrawl is an eagerly awaited solution to wasteful and illegal fisheries discards and bycatch, taking the next steps in AI technology to allow...

Continuous flow acoustic sea-lice treatment – CFAST (RD183)

The Continuous Flow Acoustic Sealice Treatment (CFAST) is an innovative new modular sea lice treatment system in development by Pulcea, which combines their...
