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 Newport Research Facility holds valuable collections of biological material (scales and otoliths), collected as part of national stock assessment and monitoring programmes or for the purpose of specific projects. Analysis of this material is providing significant insight into temporal changes in migratory fish populations and underlying broad-scale environmental drivers (Peyronnet et al. 2007; Daverat et al. 2012). However, the available material is not fully catalogued and analysed and associated data and images are not currently held in a single database that can be readily updated, making it difficult to build on recent research advances. To fully realise the potential of this archive, a co-ordinated approach is needed, following international examples of best practice (ICES 2016). This project proposes to consolidate NRF collections of scales and otoliths and associated images and data into a single biochronology repository linked to other biological time series and to relevant high resolution habitat and environment data, thus maximising the use of the archive by researchers. Existing growth time-series will be updated and an interface created to ease future access and updating. A comprehensive analysis of growth and environmental time series will be conducted to investigate responses of migratory fish to environmental change at both oceanic and catchment level scales. Stable isotope signatures in archived salmon scales will be used to identify temporal changes in feeding history that may coincide with changes in growth and marine survival. The feasibility of using scales to detect biochemical stress responses will be investigated. The research infrastructure and capacity developed by the project will complement and support ongoing NRF research programmes and will enable future Irish involvement in international biochronology networks. Such collaboration is likely to leverage additional international funding for an integrative analysis of ecosystem responses to climate change which is the ultimate goal of this research programme.
