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 aim of this project is to determine to what extent salmon populations having experienced intrusions of escaped farm salmon display morphological changes, and to determine the causes of these changes. Goal: to determine variability in morphology and genetics among wild salmon and between wild and farmed populations of Atlantic salmon in order to determine the introgression of farmed salmon properties and genes in wild populations over the last 30 years. Variability in morphology and causes for its variation, will be determined and compared in farmed, gene-bank kept, and wild Atlantic salmon from Norway, Scotland and Canada. Genetic variation will be determined for the same groups. The genetic effect of escaped farmed salmon, reproducing with wild salmon in nature, will be determined in analyzes of genetic and morphological change of selected populations over the last 30 years, where gene bank material represents the pre-escapement situation in Norway.
