Workshop in the use of FT-IR for evaluating humification in marine-based composts MARIGREEN_TECB The MARIGREEN project aims at upgrading poorly utilized residual materials from the BLUE value chain for application as fertilizers and biostimulants in organic agriculture. MARIGREEN_TECB consists of a capacity-building and knowledge-transfer workshop bringing together PhD candidates affiliated with MARIGREEN and experts in… Continue reading Workshop in the use of FT-IR for evaluating humification in marine-based composts

JUNO: Justification for Using Natural Optimizers of plant health MINERVA_TECB Project title: JUNO: Justifying Use of Natural Optimizers of plant health/ Project acronym: MINERVA_TECB JUNO directly amplifies MINERVA (lead PI Prof Stengel, University of Galway) impacts by 1) adding value to seaweed extracts prepared during MINERVA by a) increasing knowledge of other activities that the… Continue reading JUNO: Justification for Using Natural Optimizers of plant health

Development of a real-time fish-behaviour analysis tool for early-warning applications in aquaculturesystems (RT-FIBEAN) DigiRAS_BCOM The overall aim of this research is to develop an automated system for real-time detection of changes in fish behaviour via machine vision and machine learning to reveal unfavourable environmental changes before the fish is severely harmed. We have so far… Continue reading Development of a real-time fish-behaviour analysis tool for early-warning applications in aquaculture systems (RT-FIBEAN)

European fisheries enhancement through “Omic” characterization and innovative seafood production from underutilised fish species. EuFish_SustainableGrowth Sustainable fisheries management is an essential aim to the future health of our oceans. This process could assist marine ecosystemsrecovery from overfishing, through a sustainable approach to biodiversity. The depletion of traditional fish stocks has led to a new fisheries… Continue reading European fisheries enhancement through “Omic” characterization and innovative seafood production from underutilised fish species

Advancing European bivalve production systems. BIVALVI Bivalves provide consumers with high value essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids and iodine. The environmental footprint of bivalve production is low. However, the technological development of the European bivalve production sectors lie far behind other aquaculture sectors. BIVALVI aims to advance bivalve production in Europe in a… Continue reading Advancing European bivalve production systems.

Reducing environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions in commercial fisheries. RightFish RightFish will develop generic methodologies that will improve our ability to design and develop low impact towed fishing gears.It will advance the state of the art in the design of commercial trawl gears by establishing criteria for small scale modelling that incorporate the contact… Continue reading Reducing environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions in commercial fisheries.

Synergy of blue and green sectors for resilient biomass production and processing to develop sustainable feed ingredients for European aquaculture. BlueGreenFeed Aquaculture production is one of the most effective ways to produce animal protein and this sector has a high potential for sustainable jobs creation and growth. However, a major challenge is the urgent need… Continue reading Synergy of blue and green sectors for resilient biomass production and processing to develop sustainable feed ingredients for European aquaculture.

Value creation and ecosystem services of European Seaweed industry by reducing and handling potentially toxic elements from breeding to soil. Seasoil The overall project aim is to promote value creation, including ecosystem services, and further expansion of the seaweed industry in Europe. It will fill knowledge gaps on Potential Toxic Elements (PTE) in farmed sugar… Continue reading Value creation and ecosystem services of European Seaweed industry by reducing and handling potentially toxic elements from breeding to soil.

Improvement and innovation of a BIO-secure Recirculating Aquaculture System for SHRIMP and additional biomass circular production. BIORAS_SHRIMP The development of sustainable, productive, climate-neutral and resilient farming systems is, nowadays, an obliged way to provide consumers with affordable, safe, traceable, healthy and sustainable food, while minimizing pressure on ecosystems. The improvement and innovation of land-based integrated… Continue reading Improvement and innovation of a BIO-secure Recirculating Aquaculture System for SHRIMP and additional biomass circular production.

Improved Processing to Enhance Seafood Sidestream Valorization and Exploration ImPrESsiVE The rapid growth of the world population in the last decades created an urgent need to explore alternative food sources for essential nutrients. Seafood side streams are abundant, sustainable and contain valuable bioactive peptides, lipids and polysaccharides with health promoting properties, which all together make… Continue reading Improved Processing to Enhance Seafood Sidestream Valorization and Exploration
