The aim of this research line is to generate high quality scientific knowledge and innovation, through the production of added value sea food items leading to more sustainable and better performing food chains. INSEAFOOD involves an exceptional team of CIIMAR researchers complemented with the inclusion of new scientific posts, young researchers and doctoral students that will reinforce the capacity to compete in the aquaculture and seafood quality research areas. Research effort will be focused on economically important and well established shellfish (Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas) and finfish species (European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax) that play a major role in the Portuguese aquaculture sector. The project will also focus on the monitoring of marine algae and European sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) populations from the north sea coast of Portugal. Finally, an assessment of the economic potential of high quality sea urchin roe produced under captivity through dietary modulation will be performed.
