The supply of fish from fisheries is stagnating but supply from Aquaculture is fast increasing. It is, however, questionable if the increasing supply can meet the demand. For Europe is will be essential to stay competitive on the world markets with processed products but also to increase own production from aquaculture. The project will analyse the competitiveness of European companies along the value chain and production systems which may allow the longterm increase in supply from aquaculture.

Dumped Munition in the Baltic Sea pose a potetial risc for the environment. Which chemicals or metabolites are detectable in fish? Do they pose a threat for fish, do they affect fish health and how can the dumped munition been managed? These questions are adressed in the the research project DAIMON.

The European eel is endangered. There are still large gaps in our knowledge about its reproductive biology. A better understanding of the processes in the spawning area is necessary to develop a better basis for the protection and sustainable management of the species.

The arrival of “Agriculture 4.0” brings with it the use of sensors and big data. The present study aims to evaluate, whether these systems can be used to automatically detect erratic behavioral patterns in fish.

The huge amount of man-made solid waste materials ending up in the oceans was identified as one of the pressing global challenges. We investigate the amount of microplastics in marine fish and if this is a threat for the animal.
