Objectives:
•    To enhance the competitivity and sustainability of the Mediterranean aquaculture sector throughout the value chain.
•    To increase the technical productivity and economic performance of the sector.
•    To achieve more responsible consumption and build a social reputation.

Impacts
The project provided integrated solutions for the main technical industrial bottlenecks throughout the value chain.
MedAID combined applied biological and socioeconomic science to improve the industry’s competitiveness and provided strategies to optimise the production, marketing, business, image and governance of the aquaculture sector.

Consortium
MedAID was a consortium of 34 partners from 13 countries across the Mediterranean region and Europe, with different profiles that interacted with each other to provide applied research results and recommendations for improving zootechnical performance, business plans and governance. The project was coordinated by the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Zaragoza (IAMZ-CIHEAM) with the collaboration of the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA).
