Research and innovation in fisheries and aquaculture:

Priorities in science, industry and society in the context of the IMP in the Mediterranean Sea

Maribel Rodriguez, European Fisheries Technology Platform (EFTP) and Spanish Technology Platform for Fisheries and Aquaculture (PTEPA), Spainwww.ariema.com www.eftp.eu www.ptepa.org 1Setting the context- What is a Technology Platform?Technology Platforms (TPs) are industry-led stakeholder for a charged with defining research priorities in a broad range of technological areas. ETPs foster effective public-private partnerships, contributing significantly to the development of aEuropean Research Areaof knowledge for growth. Public-private partnerships can address technological challenges that could be key for sustainable development, for the improved delivery of public services and for the restructuring of traditional industrial sectors.

The fisheries sector in the EU is affected by several interrelated problems.Fish stocks are overfishingThe economic situation of some segments of the fleet is fragile despite the high levels of subsidy, Sector jobs are not attractive The situation of many coastal communities dependent on fisheries is precarious.

Team work !!www.ariema.com www.eftp.eu www.ptepa.org PRIORIDAD 1.Evaluacin de Recursos PesquerosOBJETIVO 1. Procedimientos, tecnologas, equipos y campaas de medida de poblacionesPara la conservacin y gestin sostenible de los recursos pesqueros es necesario conocer las poblaciones actualizadas de los mismos. Los procedimientos, tecnologas y equipos son variados y su mejora permite un anlisis ms exhaustivo. Las campaas de medida de poblaciones actualizan esta informacin, lo que permite adaptar la capacidad pesquera a las poblaciones.PRIORIDAD 2.Gestin Pesquera u Ordenacin PesqueraOBJETIVO 1. Captura y esfuerzo de pesca, optimizacin de los caladeros, productividad marina y pesquerasLa captura pesquera es la optimizacin de la capacidad de un buque o grupo de buques para capturar peces. El esfuerzo pesquero, en Derecho comunitario, es el producto de su capacidad por su actividad. La capacidad representa la potencia y la actividad, el tiempo durante el que dicha potencia se utiliza. OBJETIVO 2. Enfoque ecosistmico de la gestin pesqueraEl enfoque ecosistmico es una estrategia para la ordenacin integrada de la tierra, el agua y los recursos vivos que promueve la conservacin y el uso sostenible de manera equitativa.OBJETIVO 3. Zonas de Gestin Reguladas de Recursos Marinos: zonas marinas protegidasEspacio donde la legislacin general existente se modifica con una normativa complementaria con la intencin de disminuir el impacto de la accin humana sobre las comunidades marinas.DescartesLos descartes pesqueros son capturas que se devuelven al mar ya fallecidas. Esto puede deberse a que la pesquera no tiene cuota asignada de esa especie, a que la especie no tiene suficiente valor comercial o a tratarse de un ejemplar juvenil o no objetivo por otros motivos.PRIORIDAD 3.Sanidad AnimalOBJETIVO 1. ParasitismoAlgunas de las especies parasitarias que habitan en peces destinados al consumo humano pueden suponer un riesgo para la salud y adems puede resultar difcil su eliminacin. OBJETIVO 2. Txicos, metales pesados, PCBs, HidrocarburosEn ocasiones, algunos pescados y mariscos pueden acumular contaminantes ambientales con impacto negativo sobre la salud humana, como los metales pesados, policlorobifenilos (PCB) o los hidrocarburos.PRIORIDAD 4.Sostenibilidad e Impacto AmbientalOBJETIVO 2. Interacciones actividades terrestres y marinas en la franja litoralEn ocasiones la franja litoral ha de admitir varias actividades, terrestres y marinas, en el mismo espacio. Es necesario vigilar que ninguna de las actividades repercuta en las dems. PRIORIDAD 5. DiversificacinOBJETIVO 1. DiversidadLas reas marinas y costeras sostienen una rica diversidad biolgica acutica que contribuye a la mejora econmica, cultural, nutricional, social y recreativa de las poblaciones humanas. Es necesario velar por la conservacin de esta diversidad. OBJETIVO 2. Conservacin de ecosistemas marinos y litoralesEn los ltimos aos se ha hecho patente que los ecosistemas tienen una capacidad limitada para absorber los diversos modos de presin antropognica. Debemos asegurarnos de seguir manteniendo su integridad estructural y funcional.

Aquaculture1. Eco aquaculture

2. Farming of rapid growth species and better economic use. Investigate in farming new species of interest to consumer and entrepreneurs3. Use of closed circuits of water and improvement of its energy efficiency. Integration with renewable systems. 4. To put in value the R&D made about proteins and fish oils replacement with other ingredients (with animal / vegetal origin).Area: Nourishment / nutrition Topic: Formulation of new ingredients for feed Motives: Much R&D has been made about this topic but there are not clear results about current alternatives.

BUILDING TRUST FROM CATCH TO CONSUMERAttributes such as quality, sustainability of fisheries, accurate consumer information on nutritional aspects of the product, origin etc. can be some of the targets to address. This requires, among other things, a joint effort of the entire value chain of the fisheries sector to guarantee transparency and efficient traceability systems.Building on transferable and valuable information from catch to consumer.Supply chain management, supported by new information systems.Quality and safety related challenges (value chain approach and attention to emerging matters).Aligned Inclusive growth To modernise labour marketsfacilitate the entry of young people to the labour market Horizon 2020 targetswww.ariema.com www.eftp.eu www.ptepa.org 16
