项目摘要

This proposal brings together a unique consortium of two micro SMEs, one charity, two HEIs and a government agency; lead by NLH Enterprises Ltd (NLHE), partnered by The National Lobster Hatchery (NLH), the University of Exeter (UoE), West Country Mussels of Fowey (WCMoF), the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS), and Falmouth University (FU) with internationally leading research experience, capacity and facilities in the areas of marine science and engineering that are central to this proposal. The proposed project aims to tackle the challenges to address the global demand on seafood consumption by addressing primary livestock production and food security, through the development of innovative solutions and field demonstration required to establish a commercial solution making available a novel candidate aquaculture species, the European Lobster. This species has recently been identified as the top marine species for aquaculture development by the Norwegian government and Sweden is now focusing on lobster as one of its top priorities for aquaculture development. The successful lobster grower 1 (LG1) project has provided a solution to the technical barriers currently prohibiting commercial aquaculture of the species. Lobster grower 2 (LG2) aims to tackle the technical and ecological uncertainties through further innovative solutions related to the sea based deployments, whilst introducing the innovative Sea Based Container Culture (SBCC) systems generated in LG1. The further objectives of LG2 will be to roadmap the environmental, economic and social considerations in order to unlock commercial investment and exploit a valuable human protein source at minimal unit cost, creating wealth and jobs in vulnerable coastal communities. LG2 seeks to undertake a complete field evaluation of the SBCC systems developed in LG1, whilst de-risking the commercial realisation of the farming system through further development of innovative anchoring systems and monitoring techniques for sea based deployments. LG2 will bring together a multidisciplinary consortium of experts from technical, engineering, research, market and policy backgrounds to take an innovative approach to overcome the technical and economic challenges currently preventing a novel candidate aquaculture species from being commercially exploited. Lobster Grower 2 (LG2) specifically addresses the lack of technical advances in lobster aquaculture by further progressing developments made in LG1. LG2 aims to i) ensure technical robustness of European lobster farming system allowing survivability and secure stock production, ii) understand potential environmental impact that allows to put effective mitigation actions in place, and iii) provide a detailed economic assessment based on farm operations and leading to the development of an aqua-economical predictive tool. The only other developmental work taking place is being undertaken by members of the European Lobster Centre of Excellence, (ELCE). Projects in Iceland, Sweden, and Norway are currently examining Land based Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) combined with Robotics approaches to culture. The land based RAS approach employs a technology with considerable barriers to market entry (very high start-up and capital costs) and very high operational costs (electricity, feed and staffing). It is therefore anticipated that long term, SBCC will have a competitive edge over land based RAS approaches. This project's approach is therefore radically different to the approach being developed elsewhere in Europe and represents a significantly innovative approach.

这项建议汇集了一个独特的财团，由两个微型中小企业、一个慈善机构、两个高等院校和一个政府机构组成;由NLH企业有限公司（NLHE）牵头，由国家龙虾孵化场（NLH），埃克塞特大学（UoE），福伊西部国家贻贝（WCMoF），环境，渔业和水产科学中心（CEFAS）和法尔茅斯大学（FU）合作，具有国际领先的研究经验，海洋科学和工程领域的能力和设施对本提案至关重要。拟议项目旨在通过解决初级畜牧生产和粮食安全问题，应对全球海产品消费需求的挑战，通过开发创新解决方案和实地示范，建立一个商业解决方案，提供一个新的候选水产养殖物种，欧洲龙虾。该物种最近被挪威政府确定为水产养殖发展的首要海洋物种，瑞典目前正将龙虾作为水产养殖发展的首要优先事项之一。成功的龙虾种植者1（LG 1）项目为目前禁止该物种商业化水产养殖的技术障碍提供了解决方案。Lobster Grower 2（LG 2）旨在通过与海上部署相关的进一步创新解决方案来解决技术和生态的不确定性，同时引入LG 1产生的创新海上集装箱养殖（SBCC）系统。LG 2的进一步目标将是规划环境、经济和社会方面的考虑，以释放商业投资，并以最低的单位成本开发宝贵的人类蛋白质来源，为脆弱的沿海社区创造财富和就业机会。LG 2寻求对LG 1开发的SBCC系统进行全面的现场评估，同时通过进一步开发创新的锚定系统和海上部署的监测技术来降低农业系统的商业实现风险。LG 2将汇集来自技术，工程，研究，市场和政策背景的多学科专家联盟，采取创新方法克服目前阻碍新候选水产养殖物种商业化开发的技术和经济挑战。Lobster Grower 2（LG 2）通过进一步推进LG 1的发展，专门解决了龙虾养殖技术进步不足的问题。LG 2旨在i）确保欧洲龙虾养殖系统的技术稳健性，使其具有生存能力和安全的库存生产，ii）了解潜在的环境影响，以便采取有效的缓解行动，iii）根据农场运营提供详细的经济评估，并导致开发水产经济预测工具。唯一正在进行的其他开发工作是由欧洲龙虾卓越中心（ELCE）的成员进行的。冰岛、瑞典和挪威的项目目前正在研究陆基循环水系统（RAS）与机器人方法相结合的文化。以土地为基础的RAS方法采用的技术在进入市场方面存在相当大的障碍（启动和资本成本非常高），运营成本也非常高（电力、饲料和人员配备）。因此，预计从长远来看，SBCC将比陆基RAS方法具有竞争优势。因此，该项目的方法与欧洲其他地方正在制定的方法截然不同，是一种具有重大创新意义的方法。
