Project goals:
The aim of the project is to optimize the feeding and management of pond aquaculture for efficient resource management and a more positive impact on the environment.

The partial goals are:

1. Increased feeding efficiency, better use of natural production potential, better growth at lower feed costs, lower negative impact on the environment.
2. Reduction of waste nutrient production.
3. Optimization of pond management tools in terms of environmental impact and economics.
4. Diversification of cultured fish in polycultures and better valorisation of fish.
5. Quantification of environmental benefits of pond aquaculture in different farming systems.
6. Evaluation of economic benefits of various pond farming systems, evaluation of trends in the economics of pond aquaculture.
