Innovative developments in the Croatian mariculture within the Intel-Maric project

The rapid development of aquaculture production at the global level is the result of higher demand, modernization, and innovation. Simultaneously, the demand for more food production has a big impact on the environmental footprint. The design environment for aquaculture plants becomes ever complex since it is necessary to consider technical, economic, environmental, and social issues. This paper introduces the research background and activities of the INTEL-MARIC (The research center for INTELligent, innovative, environmentally friendly, and sustainable MARICulture) project, that is being implemented at UNIZAG FSB. Within the project, an advanced multidisciplinary research center has been founded, where important problems inherent to the sustainable development of Croatian mariculture are dealt with. The research background of the center associated with the state-of-the-art in the Croatian aquaculture related to energy needs, production, revenue, and environmental impact is elaborated and predictions for future development are discussed. Consequently, a set of technical solutions and methods which should meet future requirements is reviewed.
