About

AmpliAqua presents a fully operational unit of an aquaponic system that aims to adopt sustainable and viable in-land aquaponics practices, addressing the pressing challenges faced by traditional fish farming.

By integrating new solid waste management solutions, implementing cost-effective techniques to avoid fish flavor issues, and leveraging advanced IT tools, AmpliAqua sets the stage for a transformation in the aquaculture industry.

Addressing Critical Challenges

Food systems are a major contributor to the consequences of climate change and environmental degradation. AmpliAqua recognizes the urgency to shift towards a more sustainable agrifood system as part of the EU's Green Deal strategies.

How AmpliAqua is Making a Difference

Aquaculture and hydroponics, when combined in a balanced manner with proper micronutrient management - aquaponics -, have the potential to establish ecologically sound and robust agrifood systems. This approach aligns with the principles advocated by EU strategies and the Green Deal, fostering a symbiotic ecosystem that minimizes land and water usage while actively contributing to reducing CO2 emissions.

AmpliAqua's Multitrophic System: Benefits For All

AmpliAqua's positive impact is far-reaching. By harnessing this transformative technology, fish farmers around the world, even those with limited resources, can promote sustainable food production and combat the effects of climate change.

Increased productivity and sustainability in the production of fish (aquaculture), vegetables (hydroponics) and microalgae.


Contribution to CO2 mitigation through the capture of algae and plants and the efficient treatment of solid waste in a biodigester


Easy application, even in areas with limited resources, as it is a modular and replicable system.
