CATCHupFISH

Development of innovative methodologies for sustainable exploitation of biological resources in the Lesina lagoon

Back to index

The project aims to develop new technical and organizational knowledge aimed at a more sustainable use of biological resources, aimed at the reduction of bycatch and greater selectivity of fishing gear, for the purpose of drafting a Regional Fishing Regulation in the inland waters of the Lesina Lagoon.

Specific objectives of the project are:
1. conduct an updated analysis of the characteristics of species richness, abundance of the fish community present in the lagoon, also in relation to the type of gear and methods used;
2. identify the most depleted areas in species of commercial interest that can potentially be repopulated with bycatch (maintained live in an open-loop, environmentally friendly, semi-underground tank facility), determining how fishery discards can result in positive effects on ecosystem services in the lagoon;
3. assess the microbiota associated with the main lagoon fish species and its possible role on the safety and quality of the lagoon fish resources;
4. introduce more effective fishing techniques that are more selective for both species and size.

Using Operational Synergies for the Integrated Management of Invasive Alien Species in ITaly

Referent:
Ernesto Azzurro

Invasive alien species (IAS) and climate change require the development of new capacities to protect the natural capital and manage the rapid transformation of natural resources. The project proposes the development of an integrated and shared approach to studying this issue. The goal will be pursued through technical and technological advances supported by studies to improve the information management and the use of IAS as a potential economic resource

Research Projects

The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
