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.

This project focuses on the development of blue whiting protein digestion products (hydrolysates) for application in the management of sarcopenia. Consumption of high quality protein/protein hydrolysates has the potential to reduce the extent of sarcopenia, a condition linked with the loss of muscle mass and strength in the elderly. The specifi c objectives of this project are: to generate and fully characterise blue whiting protein hydrolysates, to determine the potential of specifi chydrolysates to promote cell regeneration and protein synthesis in muscle cells, and to perform a human trial to assess the ability the protein hydrolysates to beneficially alter parameters associated with the risk of developing sarcopenia. In developing scientifi c evidence of the ability of hydrolysates to protect against the development of sarcopenia, the project will impact public health by improving the quality of life for elderly populations resulting in reduced healthcare costs while adding value to the marine processing sector.
