IMPROVING FOOD SECURITY BY REDUCING POST HARVEST LOSSES IN THE FISHERIES SECTOR (SECUREFISH)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Food security is a major concern for all countries in the face of population increase and diminishing energy and water supplies. Over one billion people in low and middle income countries suffer from malnutrition. To meet the UN Millennium Development Goals to eradicate hunger and poverty, it is essential to reduce post harvest losses, including in the fisheries sector. The overall objectives of S ...

Ecosystem-based Responsive Fisheries Management in Europe (EcoFishMan)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

EcoFishMan seeks to develop a responsive fisheries management system (RFMS) based on results-based management (RBM) principles. The intended context of application of the RFMS is complex, mixed-fisheries and multi-stakeholder fishery sectors like those found in the EU/Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) area. It will be an ecosystem-based sustainable management system under a precautionary framework tha ...

Hormone-free non-seasonal or seasonal goat reproduction for a sustainable European goat-milk market (FLOCK-REPROD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"FLOCK-REPROD will provide the European dairy goat industry with the innovative, economically and environmentally-viable technology necessary to enable the hormone-free production of goat’s milk and related products (e.g. cheese). It will achieve this by controlling reproduction via artificial insemination (AI) all year round. FLOCK-REPROD technology will allow the EU dairy goat industry to operat ...

Applied simulations and Integrated modeling for the understanding of toxic and harmful algal blooms (ASIMUTH)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"Harmful algal blooms are known to periodically produce toxicity in shellfish and to kill farmed fish throughout Europe. The Atlantic coast of Europe is often affected by such blooms causing devastation to aquaculture industries due to closures of farms and large scale fish kills. The management of shellfish toxicity is well developed along the Atlantic margin in response to EU Directives, and the ...

Interaction in coastal waters: A roadmap to sustainable integration of aquaculture and fisheries (COEXIST)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"Coastal areas are subject to an increase in competing activities and protection (Natura 2000, Marine Strategy Directive) and are a source of potential conflict for space allocation. COEXIST is a broad, multidisciplinary approach to evaluate these interactions with the ultimate goal to provide a roadmap to better integration, sustainability and synergies among different activities in the coastal z ...

Management and monitoring of deep-sea fisheries and stocks (DEEPFISHMAN)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"Deepwater fisheries pose particular difficulties for management. Target species are difficult to assess with high levels of uncertainty, they are generally vulnerable to overfishing and sustainable levels of exploitation are low. Ecosystems are impacted by fishing due to the removal of target species, bycatch of numerous fish and other organisms and the crushing of benthos such as e.g. cold water ...

Development of a novel production system for intensive and cost effective bivalve farming (ShellPlant)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

The ShellPlant project proposes to develop a plant for closed production of bivalves (primarily high valued scallops and oysters). The plant will include a cultivating system for bivalves in an innovative rack system, an algae photo bioreactor and a feeding and water exchange system with intelligent controls. The coordinator company Bioframe has done several tests with a floating closed system for ...
