Copepod farming as the basis for sustainable fish production

Copepod farming as the basis for sustainable fish production

Countries

Description

The CoNaFi project is focused on investigating the relationship between the changes of biochemical composition of dietary microalgae and copepods’ nutritional quality as live food for marine fish larvae. Finding the most efficient method for cultivating high nutritional quality copepods for mass production is one of the main goals of the project. Culturing of copepods still presents a lot of challenges, that are planned to be solved in the project.
