Next generation offshore blue water aquaculture

该项目旨在为下一代蓝水水产养殖开发创新技术，重点是开发新型浮动混凝土平台、网箱和抗生物污染系统。全球对高质量蛋白质的需求不断增加，这意味着近海海洋水产养殖是替代传统畜牧业和枯竭的野生渔业的唯一现实的、环境可持续的选择。该项目将通过解决社区对近岸养鱼场的重大反对意见，包括严重的环境污染、疾病和病原体、过度使用抗生素以及对旅游业的经济影响，带来重大效益。

The project aims to develop innovative technologies for the next generation of blue water aquaculture, focusing on developing novel floating concrete platforms, cages and anti-biofouling systems. Increasing global demand for high quality protein means offshore marine aquaculture is the only realistic environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional livestock farming and depleted wild fisheries. This project will provide significant benefits by addressing significant community objections to nearshore fish farms, including severe environmental pollution, disease and pathogens, over use of antibiotics and economic impacts on tourism.
