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	AQUABIOPRO-FIT is an EU-funded project that will develop high-quality proteins and bioactives from European aquaculture, fisheries and agriculture side streams for applications in fitness, health and animal feed. The four-year project aims to promote the efficient utilisation of these biomass side streams through the up-concentration of nutrients and functional compounds while, at the same time reducing, waste. Through lab and clinical testing, the ingredients will be assessed for applications in sports nutrition, mental health and physical well-being. AQUABIOPRO-FIT will address the challenges associated with taste, bioactivity, safety and consumer acceptance, to ensure that the products are of high quality and can be effectively brought to the market.
