iFishIENCi Data Management and Access (report and dataset)

The main aim of the iFishIENCi project is to deliver breakthrough innovations for sustainable aquaculture, supported by enabling technologies, the implementation of smart feeding and smart breeding, and circular principles. All these aspects provide the European aquaculture industry with the competitive advantage and growth stimulation needed to be forefront in revolutionizing global efficiency in fish production and meet society's needs for food from the ocean. These ambitious tasks are achieved through the implementation of the iFishIENCi Biology Online Steering System (iBOSS), significantly improving production control and management for all fish aquaculture systems. iBOSS maximises feed utilisation through smart feeding, provides continuous monitoring of fish behaviour, health and welfare and reduces response times to aberrations. iFishIENCi also targets circular principles and zero waste by qualifying new and sustainable organic value chains for feeds, and valorisation of by-products. iFishIENCi´s innovations provide important new assets to fish-farmers, feed producers and technology providers in the aquaculture sector, thus leading to market growth and job creation. The present document describes the iFishIENCi project data management platform and procedures to collect and access the data, following the guidelines described in the iFishIENCi Data Management Plan (DMP).
