Improving European aquaculture by advancing selective breeding to the next level for the six main finfish species (FISHBOOST)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
Only about 10% of today’s global aquaculture production use genetically improved stocks. In Europe, some breeding programmes consist of only the basic components of a breeding scheme. Hence, there is large potential to increase efficiency and profit by domestication and genetic improvement of farmed finfish. The main challenge of FISHBOOST is to realise this potential into economic and social acce ...

Benthic ecosystem fisheries Impact Study (BENTHIS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
Benthic ecosystems provide important goods and services, such as fisheries products and supporting, regulation and cultural services. There is serious concern about the adverse impact of fisheries on benthic ecosystem which may negatively affect the fisheries yield and integrity of the sea bed. To develop an integrated approach to the management of human activities in the marine environment, in pa ...

Fixed Point Open Ocean Observatories Network (FIXO3)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
The Fixed point Open Ocean Observatory network (FixO3) seeks to integrate European open ocean fixed point observatories and to improve access to these key installations for the broader community. These will provide multidisciplinary observations in all parts of the oceans from the air-sea interface to the deep seafloor. Coordinated by the National Oceanography Centre, UK, FixO3 will build on the s ...

Synthesis of systematic resources (SYNTHESYS3)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
SYNTHESYS3 will create an accessible, integrated European resource for researchers in the natural sciences in Europe and globally. Building on the success of the previous SYNTHESYS IA, the NA will focus on improving collections management of new physical and virtual collections. By focusing the JRA on extracting and enhancing data from digitised collections, SYNTHESYS3 will increase the accessibil ...

EU BON: Building the European Biodiversity Observation Network (EU BON)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2017,
Sustainable governance of our biological resources requires reliable scientific knowledge that meets the needs of society. Current biodiversity observation systems and environmental datasets are unbalanced in coverage and not integrated, limiting integrative analyses and implementation of environmental policies.EU BON presents an innovative approach towards integration of biodiversity information ...

DEVelopment Of innovative Tools for understanding marine biodiversity and assessing good Environmental Status (DEVOTES)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The objectives are to:(i) improve our understanding of human activities impacts (cumulative, synergistic, antagonistic) and variations due to climate change on marine biodiversity, using long-term series (pelagic and benthic). This objective will identify the barriers and bottlenecks (socio-economic and legislative) that prevent the GES being achieved(ii) test the indicators proposed by the EC, an ...

Marine Microbial Biodiversity, Bioinformatics and Biotechnology (MICRO B3)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Micro B3 will develop innovative bioinformatic approaches and a legal framework to make large-scale data on marine viral, bacteria; archaeal and protists genomes and metagenomes accessible for marine ecosystems biology and to define new targets for biotechnological applications. Micro B3 will build upon a highly interdisciplinary consortium of 32 academic and industrial partners comprising world-l ...

Climate effects on the deep-sea ecosystem functioning of the Mediterranean Sea (CEFMED)
Start date: Sep 19, 2013, End date: Sep 18, 2015,
Scientific evidence is now overwhelming that climate change is a serious threat to marine ecosystems requiring urgent global response. Warming trends in the atmosphere and in the upper ocean temperatures have occurred and have caused profound changes all over the globe. Recent evidences suggest that the structure and dynamics of deep-sea ecosystems can change radically and deep-sea ecosystem funct ...

Modular Multi-use Deep Water Offshore Platform Harnessing and Servicing Mediterranean, Subtropical and Tropical Marine and Maritime Resources (TROPOS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2015,
The key objective of the TROPOS project is the development of a floating modular multi-use platform system for use in deep waters, with an initial geographic focus on the Mediterranean, Tropical and Sub-Tropical regions but designed to be flexible enough not to be limited in geographic scope.The TROPOS approach is centered on the modular development where different types of modules can be combined ...
