Start year 2015 End year 2019 Funding (€) € 5,275,426 Website http://www.primefish.eu/ Summary The outcome of the project will be models that can be used to compare competitiveness and to predict possible “boom and bust” price cycles, for strategic positioning within the value chain, on success analysis for new products and for innovation and price analysis for specific species. PrimeFish will assess the non-market value associated with aquaculture and captured fisheries as well as the effectiveness of regulatory systems and thereby provide a basis for improved societal decision making in the future. The implementation of the simulation and prediction models into a web-based market intelligence toolbox for seafood operators and policymakers is one of the key concepts of the project. The toolbox will provide peer comparison to fishermen, aquaculture producers and processing companies (on a supply-chain level) and to public stakeholders on a country or species level. The toolbox should also support producers in product development and in spotting market needs. By improving strategic decision making for industry players and policymakers the long term economic sustainability of EU fisheries and aquaculture sectors will be enhanced. As there is a lack of appropriate production and socio-economic data, the project will gather data not only on aggregate level obtained from publically available sources, but also from individual production companies, industry organisations, sales organisations and marketing channels. To facilitate data access for the specific case studies and to create added value, PrimeFish has a large industry reference group within Europe and Canada. PrimeFish is the ideal platform for strengthening the Trans-Atlantic alliance between EU and Canada by providing comparative studies and benchmarking on economic viability and competitiveness of the fisheries and aquaculture sectors across the Atlantic.
