The possible advantages deriving from the use of this innovative system are:
- reduction of water nitrogen compounds and microbial load
- improvement of fish health
- reduction in the use of antibiotics
- increase in productivity and product quality
- water saving in recirculation systems
- remediation of waste water also in terms of antibiotic residues
- reduction of farm environmental impact
- increase in sustainability
Besides the proposed innovative technique itself, this project is directed to:
- awareness creation amongst fishermen on the environmental impact of fish farming in the Mediterranean basin
- educate fish farmers on how to reduce environmental impact
- inform aquaculture depuration systems (filters) producers about this technique to collaborate for innovation licensing
- involve policy makers to spread information about the results of the project and about the availability of this innovative low-cost remediation technique
