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.

The continuous monitoring of contaminants in marine fish is a prerequisite for the development of indicators describing the environmental status and sustainability and is thus directly related to the protection of the marine environment. Biological effect monitoring is a tool to emphasize links between the causing contaminants and the biological effects observed in biota. With this strategy it is possible to measure the sum of contaminants by regarding their effects on fish and to describe the organisms' health status. One of the main tasks of the FOE is to monitor effects of contaminants and to develop appropriate quality indicators. Some of the methods are already integrated into national and international programmes and may become mandatory under OSPAR/HELCOM soon. Participation: "Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry" Cruises: annually 1 cruise FRV "Walther Herwig III" to bioeffects and 1 cruise FRV "Walther Herwig III" to deformities.
