REsearch to improve PROduction of SEED of established and emerging bivalve species in European hatcheries (REPROSEED)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Secure and stabilised hatchery production of bivalve seed is the unifying objective of the REPROSEED project. Development of innovative new methods will lead to high quality seed of guaranteed physiological health, sanitary status and genetic diversity. By considering the biology of bivalve life stages and the trophic and microbial environment of rearing conditions REPROSEED researches ways of co ...

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 ...

Making the European Fisheries Ecosystem Operational (MEFEPO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2011,

Since the reform of the EU Common Fisheries Policy in 2002, effort has been devoted to addressing the governance, scientific, social and economic issues required to introduce an ecosystem approach to European marine fisheries. Fisheries management needs to support the ‘three pillars of sustainability’ (ecological, social and economic. Fisheries Ecosystem Plans (FEPs) were developed to further the ...

Development of automated technology for large scale land based production of lobster juveniles and lobster to market size, including development of robotic feeding and imaging control system (LobsterPlant)

Start date: Sep 15, 2008, End date: Sep 14, 2011,

Strategic Objectives Addressed: The proposed project is focused on making large scale land based farming of European and American lobster feasible, both financially and practically, by developing automated technology for feeding and monitoring of each lobster individually. European and American lobster are cannibalistic in nature, and are therefore kept in individual housing cells demanding indiv ...

Theoretical Developments and Empirical Measurement of the External Costs of Pesticides (TEAMPEST)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

Pesticides are defined as chemical substances protecting plants from pathogens, insects, nematodes and weeds. They are used to secure yields, improve quality of food and facilitate harvesting. However, their heavy use in agriculture resulted in pest resistance, ground, surface and water contamination as well as possible health problems on farmers/operators and consumers. Within this context, the o ...
