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.

"In a frame of circular economy, the Mysushi project investigated the use of crude glycerol, a primary by-product of biodiesel production, as a low-priced nutrient source for heterotrophic cultivation of the fungus-like protist Schizochytrium limacinum SR21 strain. The whole biomass of this oleaginous microorganism, rich in docosahexaenoic (DHA) and high-quality proteins, was then paired with a vegetable oil source and used to replace fish oil in farmed European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) feeds. Values of health-related lipid indexes, such as atherogenicity index, thrombogenicity index, and flesh lipid quality as well as omega-6/omega-3 and polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acids (PUFAs/SFAs) ratios confirmed the high nutritional value of sea bass fillet, thus representing a healthy product for human consumption. Fish transcriptomics and gut microbiota were also studied in the project. Overall, Mysushi project added new know-how concerning the use of oleaginous microbial biomass as a valid alternative to fish oil for fish feeds."
