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.

In this project we intend to make a comprehensive analysis of the diversity, distribution and function of plasmids of bacterial communities that inhabit sponges in coral reefs exposed to different levels of pollution. The overall objective is to combine ecological and biotechnological approaches to simultaneously address important ecological issues and to exploit the biotechnological potential of sponge microbial symbionts. A high emphasis will be placed on the functional role of plasmids in the interactions between microorganisms-sponges-environment (ecology, biodiversity and environmental quality) and in the discovery of new enzymes and bioactive substances.
