In Summer 2025, AQUAPHOENIX partners in Åland completed the first phase of tests on novel sludge collection technology. They focussed on the first step of the process: pumping the waste (sludge) that accumulates beneath open pen fish farms. Fish pen at Brändö Lax farming site, a leading partner in the Åland pilot.During the pilot, technology…
At the beginning of September 2025, AQUAPHOENIX partners carried out the first seafloor sampling campaign in Hardangerfjord for Work Package 2 which focuses on assessing the environmental impact of aquaculture emissions and evaluating the effects of sludge removal. The Work Package 2 team brings together researchers from NORCE, NIOZ, and LUKE, working in close collaboration…
The AQUAPHOENIX project is piloting ground-breaking technology that will collect and remove sludge (aquaculture waste) from open sea fish pens in Norway and Åland. This technology has the potential to transform how we manage waste from open pen aquaculture - and it is also expected to have a positive impact on the surrounding environments. Marine…
AQUAPHOENIX is funded under a European Union call for projects that work to bring Nitrogen and Phosphorus (N+P) emissions within safe ecological boundaries. Below, we explore this challenge and how AQUAPHOENIX is answering the call by managing N+P emissions from aquaculture, protecting marine health, and recycling aquaculture waste.
The role of Nitrogen and Phosphorus…
AQUAPHOENIX is a four-year EU-funded project working to capture and reuse aquaculture waste. We apply novel approaches to clean aquaculture and help advance the transition toward a Zero Pollution Europe.

This summer, the first phase of the AQUAPHOENIX project begins for partners in Åland
“In Åland, we have a special situation. Anything we can do to reduce the load of nitrogen and phosphorus is going to benefit us."
Rosita Broström, Executive Director at Ålands Fiskodlarförening R.F, describes the challenge facing local aquaculture producers. Broström…
