Survey: Can better design reduce marine litter?
It is estimated that globally 4.7 million to 12.7 million tons of plastic waste enter the ocean annually from land. Marine litter significantly impacts the marine environment, its organisms as well as human beings. Which role can ecodesign play to reduce and prevent marine litter?
InnoAquaTech newsletter: summer edition now available!
Half-way through the year we thought we would give you an update on the latest developments in our project InnoAquaTech as well as some exciting news from the aquaculture sector. Don't miss out on interesting articles on experimental shrimp farming in Lithuania, worms used in aquaponics or innovative aquaculture on Iceland.
First trial with the RAS 500 system completed
In summer 2017, a small-scale RAS laboratory system, specifically designed for cultivation of whiteleg shrimps (Litopenaeus vannamei), was installed at the laboratory in the Institute of Oceanography, University of Gdansk.

The stern assembly and the wreck of a wooden vessel from Krynica Morska/Piaski
The National Maritime Museum in Gdańsk made an archeological inspection in the region of Krynica Morska (Poland).
Recirculating nutrients in aquaponics – worm filtration for treating sludge
As production of farmed animals continues to grow, treating their effluents correctly becomes increasingly important. In many countries the nitrate load of soil and groundwater is already at a critical level or exceeds the official guideline values. The random distribution of manure as fertilizer accounts for large parts of this load.
Experimental shrimp cultivation in Klaipeda
Lithuanians are seeking to acquire the knowledge and technologies that will offer them greater competitiveness in the aquaculture industry and that will effectively employ the country’s existing geothermal resources. For that purpose, an experimental facility that has been designed for industrial shrimp farming started operating in Klaipėda in July 2018.
