Outcomes of work package 3: Development of sustainable catch and processing methods
Planned outcomes of the MEESO project's work package 3.
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
