Investments to increase efficiency, quality and environmental protection in a traditional fish processing company.
The projects supported by the EMFF 2014-2020 were implemented across the country starting from the 2015/2016 academic year. Until the 2022/2023 academic year, a broad training programme was offered for the aquaculture and fisheries sectors. Educational projects facilitated swift and comprehensive information exchange with professionals and peers.
The project seeks to offer new income alternatives to farmers in the region Waldviertel by training them to farm catfish in an innovative recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), built inside a container. The corresponding policy goal is to increase freshwater fish production in Austria in a sustainable way.
Gute Wahl: Fisch! (German for „Good Choice: Fish!“) is a platform aimed at disseminating information on sustainability in fishery and aquaculture.
