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.

Apart from evaluation of (S)PCBs and TEQ (S)DL PCBs levels in muscles, livers and gonads, the target mission of the research works is the evaluation of the extent of accumulation of PCBs in the gonads of selected species of sea fish as well as what is the impact of accumulation of the said compounds, specifically of DL-PCBs, in gonads and livers, on the fish reproduction success. Goals: (1) To measure the concentrations of 35 individual PCB congeners in muscles, livers, and gonads of cod males and females in order to determine total PCB load, the sum of indicator PCB (PCB7), the sum of dioxin-like congeners (DL-PCB, 12 congeners), and the 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxic equivalent concentrations (TEQ DL-PCB) in each type of tissues; (2) To assess total dioxin-like (total TEQ) toxicity in gonads and livers of cod females with the use of DR-H4IIE.Luc bioassay; (3) To examine relationship among the estimated TEQ DL-PCB, bioassay-derived total TEQ toxicity, and the PCB7 concentrations for gonads and livers; (4) To evaluate the toxicological significance of dioxin-like toxicity.
