Sushifish projet aim to improve the processing and monitoring of food quality of seafood products like fish, shellfish and bivalves using new technologies.

The ALGAE4a-b project fostered and contributed to European capacity building through the over 200 months of secondments and delivered important contributions to the strategic EU objectives for Blue Growth and Marine Biotechnology. 

In-depth studies of “sentinel organisms” are crucial to understand the impact of climate change on marine life.

The ingestion of contaminated bivalves are a common public health problem in Africa. The new CCMAR project, HealthyBi4Namiby, wants to improve food safety and reduce health risks for the consumption of bivalves in Angola.

At this event, companies had the opportunity to learn about new technologies such as smart labels and packaging that improve the monitoring of seafood quality.

Our researchers wanted to understand how the growth of bivalve shells is regulated. They identified long noncoding RNAs, as candidate biomineralisation-related genes involved in shell growth and maintenance.
