"A new integrative framework for the study of fish welfare based on the concepts of allostasis, appraisal and coping styles" (COPEWELL)
Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
"COPEWELL aims to provide a better understanding of the underpinning mechanisms and basic knowledge about the physiology, biology, and behaviour of fishes and to give a deeper understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in coping styles. We will use an innovative hypothesis-driven multidisciplinary approach that aims to explore the links between brain function, behaviour and adaptive plastici ...

Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society (ACCESS)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
The Arctic is engaged in a deep climatic evolution. This evolution is quite predictable at short (year) and longer scales (several decades), but it is the decadal intermediate scale that is the most difficult to predict. This is because the natural variability of the system is large and dominant at this scale, and the system is highly non linear due to positive and negative feedback between sea ic ...

Improvement of feeds and feeding efficiency for seabass in cage farms in the Mediterranean (eFISHent)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
In 2005 the total world production of sea bass reached 80,000 tons. The estimated amount of feed used to support this production was 150,000 tons valued at about € 100 million. Notwithstanding the increase in production, producer’s profit margins are squeezed by i) the increase in price of feed ingredients, and ii) the decline/instability of fish prices. Feed costs account for up to 60% of total p ...

Assessing the causes and developing measures to prevent the escape of fish from sea-cage aquaculture (Prevent Escape)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
The escape of fish from sea-cage aquaculture is perceived as a serious threat to natural biodiversity in Europe's marine waters. Escaped fish may cause undesirable genetic effects in native populations through interbreeding, and ecological effects through predation, competition and the transfer of diseases to wild fish. Technical and operational failures of fish farming technology cause escapes. C ...
