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 main objective of the PlastiCod project is to determine the microplastic affinity for chemical contaminants in the Norwegian coastal area, and to study the food web transfer of microplastics contaminants from zooplankton to cod larvae, and maternal transfer from cod broodstocks to larvae (long term effects). Secondary objectives are to study the effects of microplastic contamination feeding on single organisms as rotifers, cod larvae and broodstock (short-term effects), and to use existing knowledge and results obtained by the present project to develop biodynamic models that show the possible impact of contamination by microplastic and associated contaminants on the Atlantic cod food web. This study is particularly relevant to long-term management of marine fisheries resources and sustainable use of marine resources.
