Blue Bio Database - Database of Fisheries, Aquaculture, Seafood Processing and Marine Biotechnology Projects

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.

Summary	This project strives to identify the responsible ichthyotoxins and to develop new chemical methods for their quantification. Additionally it will design molecular probes for the most common species enabling exact species identification and enumeration using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). The physiological and pathological effects of the toxic algae and their toxins on fish will be determined. Finally, the project will explore the mechanisms behind possible acclimation of fish to ichthyotoxic algae and potential accumulation of toxins in fish. The project will result in a significantly improved and state-of-the-art monitoring programme of ichthyotoxic algae and their toxins and enable a much better risk assessment during algal blooms in Danish waters.
