One of the main goals was to develop innovative technologies to increase the stock of endangered native fish species in natural waters. These technologies include broodstock management, propagation and rearing of several carp, perch and sturgeon species. Another aim was to sustainably intensify fish production in ponds and optimise recirculating aquaculture systems (RASs) through infrastructure development and innovations in the rearing of carp, zander and wels catfish. The project also boosted scientific and organisational knowledge on the potential of circular aquaculture to reduce the impact of organic substances on the environment.
