CAMBIA: Cultivation and Use of Marine Invertebrates in Aquaculture Systems with Low Environmental Impact

Pleamar program

The CAMBIA project aims to contribute to aquaculture diversification towards promising species, with a low trophic level and a lower environmental footprint.
To this end, it is expected to increase the knowledge of marine invertebrates potentially exploitable in IMTA-RAS systems such as amphipods and polychaetes and their potential use in the production of new species such as the Mediterranean shrimp.
The CAMBIA project includes sampling, analysis and cultivation activities of the different marine invertebrates, as well as ex situ experiments to determine the bioremediation capacity of these organisms to improve the environmental footprint of marine aquaculture facilities.
In addition, it is planned to make visible the role of women in science and in the aquaculture sector, carrying out specific activities on Women and Girls in Science Day and Aquaculture Day and the knowledge generated in didactic materials, workshops, congresses and conferences will be transmitted
