| Abstract: |
The research group Aquatic Ecology (AECO) focuses on innovative technologies for a more efficient and reliable exploitation of water systems in a context of sustainable development. Marine research topics dealt with by AECO include:
- analysis of risks and benefits of the consumption of fisheries products;
- sustainability analysis of marine systems;
- fish monitoring based on camera-systems and telemetry;
- innovation in monitoring and modelling to support decision-making in fisheries and biodiversity protection;
- optimisation of plastic clean-up technologies;
- analysis of the ecosystem functions of mangroves;
- multifunctional analysis and optimisation of marine systems in relation to land-use and multi-stakeholder exploitation;
- recirculation aquaculture systems for sea horse production;
- fisheries analysis based on data mining and artificial intelligence.
