FP7-KBBE: SELFDOTT, "From capture based to SELF-sustained aquaculture and Domestication Of bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus" implemented knowledge already obtained on the artificial control of reproduction of the Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT), Thunnus thynnus, to obtain viable eggs, and study embryonic and larval development for the production of fry (juveniles). At the same time, suitable and environmentally performing feeds for the growout of BFT were developed, thus reducing or eliminating the practice of raw fish importation and feeding by the fattening industry. CTN developed an egg collection system.
