Description
The AQUAFEED project comprises the development of a biotechnological process based on the biotransformation of industrial organic residues by the action of decomposing invertebrates and photosynthetic microorganisms for production of biomass with high nutritional value in order to produce innovative food products specialized in the nutrition of sea bream in aquaculture. This will contribute to the introduction of scientific knowledge, technological development and ecological sustainability in the Blue Economy sector of the Madeira Island. The inFEED is a biotech startup specialized in the development of integrated biotechnological systems for the ecological nutrition of aquatic species in aquaculture through the valorization of industrial organic residues based on technical-scientific knowledge from the domains of Biotechnology, Circular Economy and Blue Economy. The activity of inFEED consists mainly in three main areas: (1) biotechnological processing of industrial organic residues to obtain biomass with high nutritional value; (2) technological processing of biomass for production of food products for the nutrition of aquaculture species; and (3) the technical-scientific experimentation of new nutritional solutions that promote the efficiency and ecological sustainability of aquaculture systems.
