Bivalves provide consumers with high value essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids and iodine. The production of bivalves has low environmental footprint. However, the technological development of the European bivalve production sectors lies far behind other aquaculture sectors. BIVALVI aims to improve bivalve production in Europe in a sustainable way by combining genetics and reproductive technologies with the objective to improved health- and production traits and production management.
BIVALVI focuses on blue mussel, Manilla clams and Pacific oysters, the bivalve species with the highest production in Europe. BIVALVI combines technology and social sciences to enhance the knowledge and the economic importance of bivalve production, aligning it with the six fundamental principles of RRI. The four work-packages will characterize the health and reproduction status and immune functions of diploid and triploid bivalve stocks (WP1); survey and optimize farming management systems (WP2); advance breeding programmes and map disease resistance genes (WP3); evaluate social and ecosystem effects of production of bivalves through stakeholder and ecosystems services studies and test the organoleptic properties of triploids (WP4).
An important added value of BIVALVI is the close co-operation between R&D and the bivalve industries in Ireland, Italy and Norway. Naturedulis s.r.l. and Norgesskjell AS are partners and other industries are represented through their associations. The multidisciplinary qualifications of the R&D partners NOFIMA, UCC and UNIBO are complementary, showing the importance of European cooperation for the developments in BIVALVI. An advisory board with representatives from industry, state agencies, branding and policy makers will provide guidance, strategic oversight and ensures practicality of developments. Moreover, the technology transfer between species and countries and the extensive dissemination program will ensure the impact of BIVALVI.
