Project

Adding product value to sustainable fisheries

Facts

Start 31. December 2006
End 30. December 2010

The purpose of this project is to develop knowledge that can contribute to adding value to marine resources, to improve shortcomings in management regimes and to further develop theories on harvesting strategies that impact on adding value to marine sources.

To face challenges in adding more value to limited, but sustainable, catch quotas, we apply a perspective that integrates knowledge from biology and product markets.

The proposed approach is rooted in major theoretical shortcomings concerning harvest strategy advices, i.e. when to catch, what to catch, how to catch and what to produce, aimed to add value to wild fish resources within a sustainable fishery.

Within the perspective we also include new possibilities emerging from technological breakthroughs in catching and storing wild fish alive.
