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 eel is a major part of the Ria de Aveiro. The reputation of this species of fish comes not from its biological peculiarities, but from its gastronomic quality. Cooked fresh, eel is also of great interest in the processing industry, particularly canned goods. There have been several attempts to stable growth in fish farms, so far without success. The eel spreads to the four corners of the world, not only by virtue of its biological behavior of migrating over long distances, but also in barrels and cans that reach the table of the most demanding palates. Attentive to the regional economic reality and the global scientific interest, the University of Aveiro has developed, since 1987, several works focusing on the ecology and ecotoxicology of the ichthyofauna of the Ria de Aveiro, in general, and of the European eel, Anguilla anguilla, in particular. The distribution, density and biomass of the species were studied in 12-month periods in 1987/88 (Rebelo, 1992), 1996/97 (Pombo and Rebelo, 2002), 1998/99 and 1999/2000 (Pombo et al., 2005). The species and the ichtic community were also studied in the context of the biological organization of a paralic lagoon ecosystem (Garnerot et al., 2004), biological productivity (Pombo et al., 2007), abiotic influence on distribution (Pombo et al., 2005) and evolution throughout the twentieth century (Pombo et al., 2002). The project Eels in the Ria de Aveiro, an ex-libris to be preserved: biology, health and fisheries, is funded under Axis 4 of PROMAR – Sustainable development of fishing areas (Fisheries Operational Programme 2007-2013), which is managed by the Coastal Action Group of the Aveiro Region (GAC-RA), a local partnership led by the CI Aveiro Region. This is one of the anchor projects of the strategy approved for GAC-RA. Objectives: Aware of the Community regulatory context for the recovery of the European eel stock and the cultural, economic and scientific interests of the eel in the Ria de Aveiro, the CI Região de Aveiro considers it urgent to promote a study on this natural resource that aims, in the ecological context of this body of water, its preservation and respond to the need for its sustained exploitation. In particular, in the long term, reducing anthropogenic mortality to allow at least 40% of the biomass of silver eels to escape into the ocean. In this context, the central axes of the project are: Assess the trend of the state of the resource on a meaningful timescale; Determine the lagoon productive capacity of the species; Know, as accurately as possible, the influence of fishing pressure on the species; Determine the abiotic environmental quality of the system; Appreciate the sanitary quality of the eel; Develop reasoned and sustained proposals for action that contribute to the preservation and enhancement of eel as an endogenous product that enhances local development."
