The call for investments in aquaculture aims to support the establishment, expansion and modernisation of aquaculture farms, with the aim of stimulating the growth and diversification of production, especially with species from local ichthyofauna, as well as the transition to sustainable practices, with reduced environmental impact. Funding is granted for efficient investments in the use of resources, generating social benefits or focused on ecological production. The total financial allocation for this call is 49.169 million euros, and the maximum eligible value of a project is 6 million euros.
