Fish2Fork

Fish2Fork took part in ETHPorto ( March 16-18, 2023 ) - an independently organized event on Web3 with a Conference, Workshops and Hackathon running in parallel. This event brought together Web3 enthusiast, companies and start-ups, where Fish2Fork was able to spread awareness about blockchain technology applications to fish supply chain networks.    Figure 1 - PhD researcher Ulpan Tokkozhina presenting Fish2Fork and introducing the team The two day c onference (March 16-17, 2023) had a broad spectrum of speakers from different companies and projects, involved in various fields - from agriculture and fishery to public goods and decentralize science. Figures 2 and 3- ETHPorto event venue at Hardclub Porto (March 16, 2023) Fish2Fork participation at the conference was highlighted by the presentation of a PhD researcher Ulpan Tokkozhina, it took place on March 17th, during the afternoon. Ulpan presented one of the ongoing research that is focused on a frozen fish supply chain that...

  On 15-16 of December 2022 an International conference INTSYS 2022 organized by European Alliance for Innovation took place in Lisbon, Portugal. This conference is focused on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) that are aiming to make transport safer, more efficient, and more sustainable by applying information and communication technologies to all transportation modes.       Figure 1 - INTSYS 2022 conference first technical session on December 15, 2022  Researchers from the project PT-INNOVATION-0069-Fish2Fork also participated in a conference and presented research titled "Traceable distribution of fish products: state of the art of blockchain technology applications to fish supply chains". This research was authored by Ulpan Tokkozhina, Ana Lucia Martins, Joao C.Ferreira and Augusto Casaca. Ulpan Tokkozhina made a presentation of this paper during the second technical session during afternoon of December 15th, 2022.  Figure 2 - Ulpan Tokkozhina presenti...

     Fish2Fork project seeks to promote the development and sharing of competences within the fish sector, at all stages of the process, from production to supply. In this sense, it was sought that the Portuguese researchers had access to a Norwegian technology company focused on aquaculture. The company selected was Flatsetsund, located in Kristiansund, an innovative engineering company that has been working with the main national fishfarms in recent years.      The researchers were received by the company's CEO and former engineer, Lars Georg Backer, who provided a guided tour of the facilities and presented the main projects they were currently developing.  Figure 1 - Visit to Flatsetsund. Lars Georg Backer speaking      Their main concerns were plagues and their combat (and anticipation), thus the disinfestation mechanisms have improved over the years, and the process of its latest product was explained in detail: how the fish is ext...

     The second day of the tour offered a unique opportunity to the project researchers: a visit to two fishfarms – Nekton and Salmar – in order to better understand all the stages of the aquaculture production process.      The Portuguese and Norwegian teams left Molde in the morning of August 24 towards Kristiansund where, due to good weather, they were allowed to use a rib to reach the island of Smøla. The researchers dressed up and embarked on this adventure through the Norwegian Sea, which lasted approximately 30 minutes. Figure 1 - Fish2Fork teams dressing up to use the rib to Smøla Figure 2 - The rib trip to Smøla Figure 3 - The arrival at Netkon facilities      Upon the arrival at the Nekton company, the teams were welcomed by Bruna Skipnes, a brazilian biologist who has been operating in these facilities for many years, and who facilitated a tour in Portuguese for visitors. The visit started at the stage of growth of fish eggs (salmo...

        Within the scope of the Fish2Fork project, a research partnership was developed between INOV, ISCTE University (Portugal) and Molde University (Norway). In this sense, a team of Portuguese researchers – Professor João Carlos Ferreira, Professor Ana Lúcia Martins, Professor Augusto Casaca, PhD student Ulpan Tokkozhina and Master’s student Ana Rita Pires – traveled to Norway to attend and participate in workshops and visit companies that belong to or collaborate with the Fishfarms industry.      The first contact took place on the campus of the Molde University, where a workshop was held between research teams and guests from the sector. The session began with the presentation of the project by Berit Helgheim (Associate Professor in Molde) and João Carlos Ferreira. This was followed by the distinguished Per Gunnar Kvenseth, marine biologist and current senior consultant at Nekton, who reflected on the impact of technology development on fish...

The Summer School is open to anyone who might be interested, with no prerequisites. The 2022 edition will still operate in a mixed regime, face-to-face and remote. For those who do not need ECTS, as is the case for professionals, an alternative cost is being studied, depending on the number of applications and the capacity of the rooms.  High school students will also be able to follow classes perfectly and it may also be of interest to them to have the ECTS for when they enter higher education. We already have some applications from high school students, namely for the subject Internet of Things (IoT Systems). - Summer School application deadline is 19/6/2022 - Link to apply For more information follow the link .  Fish2Fork  - Improving skills and competencies for monitoring the fisheries process up to the final customer Website: www.fish2fork.eu  |  Email: info@fish2fork.eu Blogue PT: fish2fork.blogspot.com  |  EN Blog: fish2fork-en.blogspot.com...

IUU fishing means Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing . Fishing is illegal if: •      No authorization •      Against conservation and management measures by Regional Fisheries Management Organizations •      Against national laws or international obligations Fishing is unreported if: •      Not reported, or the reporting contravenes international Regional Fisheries Management Organizations or national laws and regulations Fishing is unregulated if: •      The fish vessel has no nationality •      Fishing activities jeopardize fish stocks Source: https://ec.europa.eu/oceans-and-fisheries/fisheries/rules/illegal-fishing_pt Fish2Fork - Improving skills and competencies for monitoring the fisheries process up to the final customer Website: www.fish2fork.eu  |  Email: info@fish2fork.eu Blogue PT: fish2fork.blogspot.com  |  EN Blog: fish2fork-en.blogspot.com LinkedIn pa...

As part of a visit to Peniche, on 4th of January 2022, with the goal of identifing research opportunities, a meeting was held with the MARE (Ana Pombo) and SEAentia (João Rito). On the left Ana Pombo, MARE researcher, in the center there are two INOV researchers, on the right professor João Carlos Ferreira, technical responsible for the Fish2Fork project, funded by EEA Grants and promoted by INOV in partnership with the University of Molde, Norway Fish tanks in the MARE lab The Fish2Fork project was presented and, resulting from the activity of fish feeding and production strategies, a research opportunity was identified for one of the ongoing PhDs, namely Computer Vision and neural network for Aquaculture. MARE Lab Facilities Aquaculture relies heavily on data about fish appetite to guide feeding and production strategies. However, the majority of techniques to determine fish appetite, stress and well-being are inefficient and subjective.  Based on a convolutional neural network (...
