Advancements in system design: Mariculture Structures, Renewables, and Sensors
A series of physical experiments was conducted at Deltares Atlantic Basin to understand the behavior of a seaweed net cultivation system subjected to waves and currents. The tests aimed to quantify the hydrodynamic forces exerted by the presence of seaweeds on a net. Two sets of identical full-scale nets were tested: 1) an empty seaweed […]
Danish Pilot Samsø update – July 2024
In Samsø, the tube and nets systems have been installed by Blå Biomasse. These systems were engineered to create an optimal environment for blue mussel larvae to settle and develop. The installation process was executed with precision to support the natural growth processes of the mussels. These developments are anticipated to play a crucial role […]
Danish Pilot Anholt update – July 2024
At Anholt, various types of spat collectors have been successfully deployed. These collectors are designed to attract and capture blue mussel larvae, providing a suitable surface for them to settle and grow. After several days of favorable conditions at sea, the deployment was completed, and the team is now monitoring the environment as they await […]
Belgian Pilot update – July 2024
Spat collectors boost European flat oyster research In a fruitful collaboration, the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS) and the laboratory of Aquaculture and Artemia Reference Center at Ghent University have successfully deployed custom-made oyster spat collectors in a field experiment at the offshore windfarm Belwind, located 46 km off the coast of Ostend […]
