The available database comprises research projects in Fisheries, Aquaculture, Seafood Processing and Marine Biotechnology active in the time period 2003-2022.
BlueBio is an ERA-NET COFUND created to directly identify new and improve existing ways of bringing bio-based products and services to the market and find new ways of creating value from in the blue bioeconomy.

FHF, Marine Harvest (MH) and Institute of Marine Research (IMR) have decided to finance sequencing of the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) genome. The sequencing project will consist of two parts as follows: Part 1: Genome sequencing Part 2: Bioinformatics processing. The present project will fulfill part 1. Objectives • To sequence and assemble a draft salmon louse genome. • To identify the majority of L. salmonis genes, make the genome sequence publicly available and afterwards perform annotation. Results The salmon louse genome was sequenced to a final coverage of approximately 180X. The sequencing was completed in 2011 and formally completed part 1 of the salmon louse genome project.
