Description: Work Package 1 will focus on the collection, characterization, handling and treatment of liquid and sludge waste streams from Recirculation Aquaculture Systems and integrated multi trophic aquaculture. Objectives: Characterise the waste streams from various FWAS Improve the collection, concentration, storage and transport of solid residues using innovative technologies Assess the effects on biodiversity Leading participant: SYKE

Description: In WP2 , the dried sludge will be used for growing mushrooms, whereas the liquid effluent will be used for microalgae cultivation and production of duckweed and watercress to be used as substrates for mealworm and redworm. Objectives: Valorise the fresh water aquaculture waste streams to biomass either directly (microalgae, mushrooms) or indirectly (duckweed and watercress for worm rearing) Demonstrate new technologies (microalgal harvesting) and concepts (mushroom and worm cultivation) for sustainable and profitable novel fish feed production Leading participant: CTICH

Description: In WP3 the produced biomasses will be characterised (Effluents and sludges from WP1 will be analysed for their safety degree in terms of hazardous substances before being reprocessed in the SAFE pipeline). Objectives: To characterise of hazardous compounds in the FWAS waste streams obtained in WP1 To characterise the targeted ingredients in each produced biomasses in WP2 and in-vitro assess their bioactive properties for feed fish formulation in WP4 To in vivo assess physiological status in terms of gut integrity and robustness and product quality of the biomasses on fish Leading participant: CELABOR

Description: WP4 will incorporate the results from previous WPs into fish feed formulations and be tested via feed trials for commercially important freshwater European farmed fish: Atlantic salmon smolt, rainbow trout, common carp, and European perch . Innovative solutions that reduce environmental pressure and valorise aquaculture waste streams will be developed and validated through WPs1-4 . Objectives: Formulate and produce sustainable functional and practical novel feeds with optimised inclusion levels biomasses produced in WP2 for Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ), rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ), common carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) and European perch (Perca fluviatilis ). Validate and assess the benefits of novel feeds on growth and health performances, food safety and robustness metrics, ensuring fish welfare, legislative compliance and consumer acceptance. Leading participant: NUIG

Description: WP5 is designed to assess the sustainability and analyse and facilitate the business, policy and governance environment that is required for adoption and transfer of CE strategies for aquaculture, including a Value Chain Analysis (VCA ) that will identify the stakeholder and industry environment across key partner countries. Objectives: To stimulate, demonstrate and support best practice of freshwater aquaculture production. Barriers and drivers to FWAS identified in Value Chain Analysis, including economics, logistics, social acceptance and policy Environmental impact of FWAS and new innovations determined and compared. Socio-economic impacts of FWAS and new innovations evaluated Consumer acceptance of FWAS production methods and products determined Real time performance indicators linked to automated management systems developed Long term exploitation plan of sustainable innovations developed Leading participant: STIR

Description: WP6 covers Dissemination activities and are critical for the successful exploitation of research results. Objectives: Develop a strategy for Communication, Exploitation, and Dissemination (CED), Build and engage with affiliated communities and end-users at local- and EU level, Raise public awareness on the actions and the results through online thematic platforms, Secure the sustainability of the project outcomes beyond its duration at local- and EU level.
