The production of bivalves in Portugal has been increasing substantially, leading the rankings of mollusc commercialization in some national production areas, so its economic impact on the domestic market and exports is increasingly relevant. However, bivalve production sites are often affected by faecal contamination, promoting the accumulation of pathogenic bacteria in these filter organisms. The need to implement control systems that guarantee food safety and prevent negative impacts on the health of consumers is extremely important. Thus, the objective of this research project is to develop and apply broad-spectrum and specific SEEBug sensors, capable of early detection of bivalve contamination by pathogenic bacteria. In addition, the SEEBug mobile application will be developed based on artificial intelligence algorithms, with the aim of generating a low-cost, easy-to-apply and environmentally sustainable technology that can be used by operators in the bivalve fishing sector, from fishermen to end sellers.
