WP5 - Aquaculture, quality and innovation (HERE)

Objectives

Objective 5.1

Characterise feed raw materials, including alternative protein sources, and formulated feeds for sea bream from aquaculture. Evaluate the effect of feeding these feeds throughout the entire life cycle on the nutritional, functional and sensory quality of sea bream. This includes identifying bioactive compounds and possible contaminants in the edible portions and viscera.

Connection with the lines of action of the national plan

Action 2.13: Characterise feed raw materials, including alternative protein sources, and formulated feeds for sea bream from aquaculture. Evaluate the effect of feeding these feeds throughout the entire life cycle on the nutritional, functional and sensory quality of sea bream. This includes identifying bioactive compounds and possible contaminants in the edible portions and viscera.
Action 2.16: Strategies and technologies for prediction, mitigation and control of emerging and recurrent pollutants present in the natural environment (organic pollutants, biotoxins of planktonic origin, pathogenic organisms, mycotoxins, heavy metals, antibiotics, micro and nanoplastics, etc.) and easily incorporated through the trophic chain in fishery and aquaculture products.

Objective 5.2

Design new products transformed from different species (shrimp and sea bream) through co-creative tools and implement the selected products with a healthy, sustainable and nutritious purpose. Characterise and evaluate the shelf life and perception of the formulated products.

Connection with the lines of action of the national plan

Action 2.19: Improvement of traceability and diversification of supply through the development of new, more sustainable, attractive, user-friendly, safe, competitive, healthy and high quality products, transformed, with biodegradable active and intelligent packaging systems, with new marketing lines and areas, and new uses such as biotechnological applications of aquacultured organisms. It includes (i) physico-chemical and sensory characterisation of new species and (ii) consumer acceptance, market research, forecasting and positioning of new species.

Objective 5.4

Develop surface treatments that contribute to the sanitisation/disinfection of food contact surfaces in fish processing rooms.

Connection with the lines of action of the national plan

Action 2.10: Improvement of bivalve culture systems at all stages of the production process both in the natural environment and in hatcheries through i) the development of new microbial management processes from an ecology and (eco)systems biology approach in IMTA- RAS systems, ii) the combination of new materials with novel treatments and technologies for sanitisation/disinfection of the facilities, iii) genetic improvement and iv) the implementation of population monitoring and larval recruitment systems for species of commercial interest to guarantee the supply of seed for sustainable aquaculture and shellfish production.

Tasks

Task 5.4.1: Development of materials that contribute to the sanitisation/disinfection of food contact surfaces in fish processing rooms.

Objective 5.5

To develop fast and low-cost detection methods for contaminants in fishery products based on photonic nanosensors.

Connection with the lines of action of the national plan

Action 2.16: Strategies and technologies for prediction, mitigation and control of emerging and recurrent contaminants present in the natural environment (organic contaminants, biotoxins of planktonic origin, pathogenic organisms, mycotoxins, heavy metals, antibiotics, micro and nanoplastics, etc.) and easily incorporated through the trophic chain in fishery and aquaculture products.

Tasks

Task 5.5.1: Development of photonic nanosensors for the detection of marine biotoxins (domoic acid) and microplastics in fishery products.
- Responsibles: UPV5
