INNOVATIVE TOOL TO QUALIFY THE STAFF OF AQUACULTURE FARMS IN HEALTH AND WELFARE OF FISH IN THE AQUACULTURE FARM (app FOR MOBILE AND TABLET) (app_HEALTHY_FISH)

General information: The project “app_HEALTHY_FISH”, developed by the partnership conformed by APROMAR, SGS TECNOS, API, DOKUZ EYLUL UNIVERSITESI and CCE, and cofinanced by the action "Strategic Partnerships" of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission, specifically the KA2: "Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices", completed this month the first half of its implementation period. During this first year of implementation, partners have developed a "ANALYSIS OF THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO MANAGE ADEQUATELY THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE FISH IN AQUACULTURE FARMS ", identifying the suitable capability and required training to develop the professional skills of the aquaculture sector and currently in all countries participating in the project.

The main objective of this project is to develop a training program, standardized at European level, for the aquaculture sector, including training modules for the qualification of professionals, and also learning content required for training skills on Health, Welfare and physical and chemical controls of the fish. This first analysis has developed a "roadmap" for the development of the following training contents identified from the findings of a study quantitative and a bibliographical study with the participation of aquaculture workers, trainers and experts of the sector in each of the countries involved in the consortium: •

Technologies and production management of auxiliary cultures

•

Analytical technologies and methods of sanitary control in fish farming

•

Technologies and production management of mollusks

•

Technologies and production management of crustaceans

•

Facilities, innovation and systems of automation in fish farming

•

Environmental Management of the aquaculture processes

•

Ornamental aquaculture

•

Project of implantation of a center of aquaculture production

•

Risks management: Chemical and biological hazards

•

Aquaculture Products. Processing trade and Public Health

•

Best Practices in aquaculture farms

meeting

took

place

last

in

Italy,

in

Verona.

At the meeting in Verona two farms, one of trout and other sturgeon were visited

The next meeting is scheduled to be held in Croatia in May-June 2017 where the technical work being developed until then will be reviewed, namely the Formative Standardized Program and the prototype of the app "HEALTHY_FISH" and the model experiences to be developed in each country will be planned.
