INNODAGNJA (Innovative mussel)

Solution overview

1. The project tested the use of fishing net rope for the growth of mussels (with the use of degradable cotton and thread). These net ropes are reused in production, and completely eliminate the use of single-use plastic. 2. A shellfish pasteurization process was developed and tested, which would enable a significantly longer shelf life while maintaining the organoleptic, sensorial and aesthetic characteristics of the fresh shellfish. 3. An innovative eDNA analysis method was applied, which can detect the presence of pathogens in the sea by analyzing seawater (without the complicated analysis of shellfish tissue), and inform growers of the necessary measures to prevent and manage the threat potential.

Key features

The aim of the project is to address all the problems mentioned in the life cycle of mussel cultivation. Key Features: Recycling; shellfish pasteurization; Innovative eDNA analysis

Integration and adaptability in manufacturing environments

As already stated, the solution consists of several steps. Some things users (producers - breeders) can independently adopt in production, for example the use of lines created from recycled ropes/nets for further cultivation. Other parts such as planting monitoring, sampling and pasteurization are part of a more complex part of the solution itself, which means that it is intended for larger industries that have the conditions for it (laboratory, trained staff) or can be contracted as a service.

Implementation support and training for manufacturers

A user who would adopt the INNODAGNJA solution should have clear instructions from the service provider for all steps. Since the project has just finished, these steps have not yet been determined.

Sustainability, compliance and certifications in the EU

The solution is in accordance with relevant environmental regulations and industry standards in the EU. There are no certificates or accreditations.

Use cases

Example of successful implementation of solution in manufacturing company.

The implementation of the project used empirical research at the shellfish farm in Šibenik. Applicant - The University of Split tested the imagined solution at the Mussel Farm of the company Platforma 22 using the following steps: 1.1. Planting in a real environment, monitoring, analysis and evaluation of mussel cultivation on the net rope system (comparison with the classic system in relation to growth speed, growth and condition index) 1.2. Development of several procedural specifications for mussel pasteurization 1.3. More comparative pilot pasteurizations of mussels (tools, duration of pasteurization, temperature, cooling, etc.) 1.4. Testing the organoleptic, sensorial and aesthetic properties of mussels, as well as shelf life, choosing the optimal pasteurization process. Comparison with a fresh clam control. 1.5. Procedural specifications for eDNA analysis of marine shellfish farms 1.6. Pilot testing of several sea eDNA analyzes from mussel farms, and the choice of an established procedure Through the implementation of the project, the user gained important insights into mussel cultivation itself, and the continuation of the research (the solution is in the TRL 7 phase) will lead to the commercialization of the solution.

Case studies or testimonials showcasing the impact of the solution on real-world operations.

The project has just finished and there is no real user experience, apart from the experience of implementing the project. However, once the research is completed, the more ecologically acceptable breeding system ""Innodagnja"", with a timely reaction to potential pathogens, and the final product of extremely high added value and a longer shelf life will represent a significant advance for the entire industry, and has the potential to ensure growth and expansion mussel farming industry.

ROI & Costs

Expected return on investment (ROI)

It is difficult to answer this question since the design solution needs to be refined. In addition, the solution itself does not necessarily increase the cultivation quantities, but the quality of the product itself, it affects the reduction of the purchase of new pergola by encouraging the recycling of old nets. Costs also depend on the location of the farm, their specific needs, sea quality, etc.

Cost overview: implementation and ongoing expenses

The costs of the project itself (complex laboratory equipment and recycled ropes) amounted to 69,000 EUR.
