Project
Name : SEAFOOD Plus Country : Regional (Europe) Funding : EC Duration : 2004 - 2009 |
| The strategic
objective of the SEAFOODplus Integrated Programme is to reduce health problems
and to increase well-being among European consumers by applying the benefits
obtained through consumption of health promoting and safe seafood products
of high eating quality. The objectives of the seafood safety component are to make seafood safe for the consumer, by identifying risk factors, avoiding risks caused by viral and bacterial contamination, biogenic amines in seafood and to undertake risk-benefit analysis. The total value chain is addressed by developing consumer driven tailor-made, functional seafood products to improve health and to ensure nutritional quality and safety by full utilisation of raw materials from aquaculture and from traditional fisheries. Dissemination of project objectives and activities in trade and governments will be obtained through the journal 'Eurofish Magazine' which is issued bimonthly in 5000 issues. Cooperation with EUROFISH is of particular importance since the network covers Central and Eastern Europe. Further, EUROFISH is a very successful event organiser and can help considerably in developing events during the lifetime of SEAFOODplus to disseminate the results of research to end-users. |
