Introduction of wrasse in salmon pens. A great example of biological control to fight parasites at a commercial level. #salmon #biologicalcontrol #sealice #commercialaquaculture

I am looking forward to facilitating this workshop - aimed at highlighting the important role of ACs in management of impacts & services from marine ecosystems

Meet Oskars - the new generation of fishermen in Latvia. This craft is a legacy, passed down through generations, and it thrives when we teach it to the next. But it's not easy. In a world where big corporations and commercialization are taking over, small-scale fisheries are being outcompeted by larger commercial operations that can afford more advanced technology and benefit from economies of scale, making it difficult for smaller operations to compete. A passion for fishing goes beyond the thrill of the catch; it's about cherishing a tradition, harmonizing with nature, harvesting only what’s needed to sustain your family, and preserving these skills for future generations. #PortraitsoftheSea #NextGenFisherman #SupportSmallBusinesses

Our colleague Francisco José Nicolás Yepes participates today as a panelist in the eighth edition of the online event ‘Ocean Best Practices System Workshop (OBPS WSVIII)’. His presentation is entitled ‘DT4QUA: Digital Twin 4 AQUAculture’ and is about predictive models to improve the operation of aquaculture farms and their implementation in a 3D digital tool, facilitating the prevention of breakages and losses. This action is organized by Ocean Best Practices System in order to facilitate the cross-cutting primary role of best practices in operational oceanography by promoting dialogues across science and technology. Don´t miss the opportunity to learn standards and tools for developing new solutions for marine conservation, for predictions and monitoring, for a sustainable ocean environment, and a sustainable Blue Economy.

R-Control is a project where #SINTEF collaborates with two industry partners; #Tustern AS and #Gullholmen AS. 🤝 Both are active #fisheries, owning multiple fishing vessels. This valuable collaboration between science and industry is a win-win for both sides. 🤩💡 Researchers from SINTEF are able to test and develop new #technologies, like the CatchScanner, within real fisheries. 🎣🤖👨🔬 The fisheries on the other hand, will be the first to experience and use these effective solutions, increasing their #efficiency at sea which leads to money and time saved! 📈💸 #fisheriesscience #RControl 📸: Emlyn John Davies (SINTEF)

🐟 The Fish-X Project is a 3-year project, co-funded by the Horizon Europe Programme. The project’s goal is to improve the sustainability of EU #fisheries and better protect marine ecosystems. Modernising Small Scale Fisheries (SSF) is crucial as they represent a large portion of employment in the fisheries sector (80 to 90 %), and they are challenged by the evolution of fish stocks and competition with other coastal activities.    🤝 It is in this frame that CLS, Sciaena and ANP (Associação Natureza Portugal) / WWF all entities of the project consortium, teamed up to monitor Portuguese artisanal fishing and deploy the CLS #VMS transponder #NEMO in Portugal, to help fishers prove their fishing grounds in a context of marine spatial planning.   📰 Want to dive a bit more in the Portuguese #SSF? We had the opportunity to ask a few questions to Raquel Pereira, Fisheries and Marine Conservation Technician at Sciaena, to learn more about the Portuguese artisanal fishing market, NEMO’s benefits and the next steps of this use case and project.

Climate change and innovative technologies will be the main themes of the Fish Forum 2024 🌐🌊

Discussing innovation in a traditional industry can be challenging. And, the #FishingIndustry is no exception. That is why it was great to participate to the North Sea Advisory Council and European Association of fish Producers Organisations (EAPO) seminar held in #Brussels last week. This, aimed to address some of these challenges and to dive deeper into some innovative solutions for the European industry. At the event, Tom Rossiter was able to share some of our experience working closely with commercial operations. In particular, those introducing #PrecisionFishing technology as a tool to make fisheries both more sustainable and efficient. In fact, these technologies, especially the underwater camera #CatchCam, is already being deployed around the UK and further afield. Thus, helping skippers, crew and fleet managers to identify how their gear is performing underwater and its impact on the surrounding environment and marine species, including target catch. Unfortunately, we experienced some technical issues at the event and were not able to share some videos. Here is the underwater footage from Tom's presentation if you'd like to check it out: 📹 Muddy vs Sandy sediment: https://lnkd.in/df5rj4mD 📹 Trawl Net making Ground Contact: https://lnkd.in/dXRRAknU The meeting was also an opportunity to learn about new solutions and ideas. Including MarFishEco Fisheries Consultants Ltd dual codend trawl for nephrops fisheries, ILVO (Instituut voor Landbouw, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek) highlighting the importance of co management and high quality data, Thünen Institute rethinking sorting grids and many more projects by DTU Aqua, SINTEF Ocean, AZTI , International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and more 💡 Finally, we'd love to keep this conversation going. So please do not hesitate to contact us at https://lnkd.in/d2q_k3FE to chat with Tom about potential collaborations and projects.
