All Atlantic Ocean Sustainable, Profitable and Resilient Aquaculture

Developing New, Sustainable, Profitable, and Resilient Value Chains for IMTA Production

ASTRAL is a European Union Horizon 2020 collaborative project that focuses on integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) farming.

Our core aim is to define, support and promote this type of aquaculture production in the Atlantic area.

IMTA enhances sustainability, economic stability, and social acceptance in aquaculture by harnessing synergistic interactions among different species
