This project aims to characterize microorganisms in a treatment process of fish farming effluents, through metagenomic analyses. These analyzes involves identifying and quantifying with precision microorganisms by recognition of genetic codes. The project will contribute to the circular economy, by allowing the reuse of fish farming effluents as a source of fertilizer in soil-less (hydroponic) culture.
This system, called aquaponics, will contribute to the development of food self-sufficiency in Quebec, the protection of waterways and public health. This process was developed by ÉAU in collaboration with the Centre des technologies de l’eau
