KaviXton
- De veiligheid van de implementatie van dit (beschermde) AOP proces in kaviaarproductie aantonen.
- Het waterverbruik tijdens het afzwemproces bij kaviaarproductie met 75% verminderen.
- De afzwemtijd nodig om on-flavour kaviaar te bekomen verminderen van 6 tot 8 weken naar 3-4 weken.
- De economische rendabiliteit van de implementatie bij kaviaarproductie aantonen.
- De Gemial analyser finetunen en valideren in praktijkomstandigheden en hiermee de commerciële lancering mede mogelijk maken.
- De analyses van geosmine en 2-MIB in fillet op punt stellen en zo beschikbaar maken voor viskwekerijen

AQUAEXCEL2020
Similar to the forerunner project AQUAEXCEL (2011-2015), one of the key aspects of AQUAEXCEL2020 is to provide subsidised access to its top-class aquaculture facilities as well as numerous highly pertinent services for researchers from academia and industry. AQUAEXCEL2020 will also provide training for transnational access users, aquaculture researchers, technical staff and industry stakeholders. Calls for transnational access will be announced on a regular basis here.
