This magazine grows together with those who study, manage or protect water.
Acquario di Bologna is my editorial project. I am an IT manager and technology consultant. If you work in conservation, research or aquaculture, there are three concrete ways we can do something together.
My name is Víctor Blanco. For five years I have designed energy monitoring, data and automation systems for industrial plants; this magazine is my way of looking at the aquatic world with the same rigour.
Ways to collaborate
Interviews and articles
I tell the stories of people who work with aquatic life: researchers, curators, veterinarians, technicians, NGOs and companies. An interview is a 30–45 minute conversation; before publication we review the text together, word by word.
If you have a story, a project or a dataset that deserves more context than a press release, write to me. And if you would rather write yourself, I welcome external contributions on conservation, technique and ethical fishkeeping.
European projects (Horizon Europe, LIFE, EMFAF)
If you are preparing a proposal and need a technical partner, I can join the consortium for:
- Data management and analysis
- Monitoring platforms: water, energy, sensors
- Automation and AI applied to processes
- Dissemination: the magazine is an active editorial channel, useful for telling the project's results to the public
Track record: energy monitoring platform for 11 industrial plants, €2M in losses avoided in the first year, €14M/year in certificates managed.

The magazine publishes calculators and technical notes on water management. If you have data, a model or an idea for a tool useful to readers, we can build it together: you bring the science, I bring the technical side. The result stays open and free.
The magazine stays independent: content is not for sale, collaborations do not influence articles, and any commercial relationship is disclosed.
