Outcomes of work package 3: Development of sustainable catch and processing methods

Reports

• Report on the development and testing of specialized trawls optimized for deep and shallow mesopelagic fisheries and the potential negative environmental effects of the herding methods
  Lead: Sintef Ocean AS
  
  
• Report on identification of possible biotechnological products from the processed mesopelagic catch in terms of production possibilities and value
  Lead: Nofima AS
  
  
• Report matching of possible products from processing, contaminants and bioactivity testing with market possibilities and environmental impact
  Lead: Nofima AS
• Scientific report on economic perspectives, efficiency, projections for fleet components potentially exploiting mesopelagic resources, and the processing sector
  Lead: Technical University of Denmark (work package 8) together with Nofima AS
• Determination of the most effective land based processing methods with regards to products, markets, scalability and economics
  Lead: Nofima AS
• Determination of the most effective on board processing methods with regards to desired product, cost of processing and market possibilities
  Lead: Nofima AS

Databases

• Database on contaminants, nutraceuticals and nutrients 
  Lead: Institute for Marine Research

Workshops

• Workshop on different processing techniques to be assessed
  Lead: Nofima AS

• Workshop on assessment on nutritional, nutraceutical, and safety properties of processed food and feed products
  Lead: Nofima AS
  
  
• Stakeholder workshop discussing results and testing possible products from biomasses
  Lead: Nofima AS
  
  
• Regional stakeholder and full-feedback workshop on data, parameter, method, and results exchange and on sustainable fisheries, harvest strategies, and resilience of the system
  Lead: Technical University of Denmark (work package 8) together with Nofima AS
  
  
• Prototype production of selected scaled processes for market evaluation and circular prototype improvement
  Lead: Nofima AS

Videos

• Videos and potential manual on best survey and fishing practices 
  Lead: Institute of Marine Research (work package 2), Nofima AS & Marine and Freshwater Research Institute (work package 4)

Public outreach

• Trial fishery campaign blogs with invited journalists
  Lead: Institute of Marine Research (work package 2) & Nofima AS
  
  
• Furthermore, the MEESO project will publish news on the meeso.org website and make regular press releases etc.
