ActFast HE Project

Actions for Climate Transition by developing Future Aquaculture Strategies and Technologies project

ActFast is a Horizon Europe Innovation Action (Grant Agreement No. 101181159) dedicated to identifying, validating, and demonstrating climate change adaptation and mitigation solutions tailored for European aquaculture.

• High resolution climate projections and forecasting: developing climate databases, multidecadal projections, and an AI-based early warning system for the Mediterranean.
• Mediterranean actions: designing climate-resilient aquafeeds, phage therapies, and AI-based monitoring tools for seabass.
• Delta actions: supporting mussel and clam farming in deltas, addressing invasive blue crab threats, and developing IMTA prototypes in the Po, Ebro, and Nile deltas.
• Central eastern European inland waters: improving carp, trout, and catfish farming resilience with novel feeds, IMTA systems using duckweed, and biosensors for pathogens.
• Northeast Atlantic actions: enhancing salmon farming with functional feeds and genetics to reduce complex gill disease and improve smolt quality.
• Sustainability and circularity: assessing environmental, social, and economic impacts through Life Cycle Assessment and circularity analysis.
• Communication, dissemination and exploitation: maximising impact through outreach, policy briefs, and exploitation strategies.
• Competence and knowledge mobilisation: offering training, webinars, and developing the Virtual ActFast Lighthouse for immersive demonstrations.
