Why BONUS OPTIMUS?

Mussel farming has a high potential for contributing to a sustainable blue growth in the Baltic. To fulfill this potential, research and development is needed on several levels. The overall goal of BONUS OPTIMUS is to provide robust evidence-based ecological, social, and economic documentation on optimized use of farmed mussels as a mitigation tool for eutrophication that in turn can be a sustainable protein-rich feedstuff for fish.

BONUS OPTIMUS: Optimization of mussel mitigation cultures for fish feed in the Baltic Sea

The BONUS OPTIMUS project aims to provide robust evidence-based documentation (ecological, social, and economic) on optimized use of farmed mussel as a mitigation tool for eutrophication that in turn can be a sustainable protein-rich feedstuff for fish. The project has partners from Denmark, Germany, Poland and Sweden and is supported financially by the BONUS programme. The project runs from 2017 to 2020.
