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 project aims at establishing a fundamental biotechnological toolbox for microalgae R&D in Norway. The target algae are production strains of omega-3 fatty acids. We will try to create a molecular toolbox that is required for genetic engineering of microalgal production strains (e.g. nuclear and chloroplast transformation) to allow metabolic engineering. We also intend to develop technology-assisted breeding (non-GM approach) by forward genetic screens to optimize omega-3 fatty acid productivity. High-level gene recombinant protein expression such as fish vaccines shall facilitate the commercialization of microalgae and product extraction by a biorefinery approach.
