Project 36818 - UK Seafood Fund – Science & Innovation Pillar - Fisheries Industry Science Partnerships (FISP) Round 3
Authority: Defra Network eTendering Portal
What is being bought7 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionTo collect data that improves the knowledge of UK fisheries and aquaculture and their interaction with the marine environment and other marine species to support sustainable fisheries management.
This can include data collection to support the development of Fisheries Management Plans and research to support the development of fisheries management measures which contribute towards the Precautionary, Sustainability, Ecosystem, Bycatch, and Climate Change objectives. The data to be collected and subsequent analysis will be proposed by the UK fishing/seafood industry in collaboration with an appropriate research organisation.
The Authority will require data to be collected in established ways, as set out in the appropriate MEDIN data collection standards (MEDIN – Marine Environmental Data and Information Network ).
The Authority will also require data to be openly published by uploading to the appropriate MEDIN data archive centre and by requiring contractors to publish a scientific report that sets out the data collected, the methodology used and analysis of that data.

Lot 1 – Fisheries Data Collection Round 3 of the UK Seafood
Fund - Science & Innovation Pillar
Lot #1Fisheries Data Collection Round 3 of the UK Seafood Fund - Science & Innovation PillarCancelled
Lot #2Mixed Fisheries and SelectivityAwarded
The main UK fisheries catch a mix of commercial species and stocks. A key challenge remains in exploiting the fishing opportunities from healthy commercial stocks whilst simultaneously protecting vulnerable stocks and other protected marine species and habitats.
There is a need to deliver research and data collection on technical measures in selectivity that significantly reduce environmental impacts, bycatches and discards whilst maintaining fishing opportunities within advised limits. The UK remains fully committed to ending the wasteful discarding of fish and minimising catches of sensitive and protected marine species.
Contracts awarded under this lot will fund research and data collection on technical measures which aim to address these challenges.
Lot #3Environmental Impacts of AquacultureAwarded
Research into marine aquaculture. Inland and freshwater aquaculture is not currently eligible for funding.
This area of funding will be focussed on improving our understanding of the ecosystem benefits of marine aquaculture, for example aquaculture as a nature-based solution to ecological contaminants and improving our understanding of how the environmental impacts of existing aquaculture systems can be minimised.
To focus on research in the following areas:
- Understanding the ecosystem benefits of aquaculture e.g. seaweed, bivalves etc
- Practical proposals of aquaculture as a nature-based solution and the identification of areas that could benefit from this.
- Minimising the environmental impacts of existing aquaculture systems, including escapees; disease & parasite management; recirculation, control and reduction of discharges.
- Ecological impacts and benefits of seaweed farming, offshore aquaculture, and recirculation to generate additional evidence on ecological impacts and benefits.
Improved data and knowledge could lead to increased opportunities for the aquaculture sector by supporting the development of fish farming as a nature-based solution towards sustainable fisheries management. Minimising environmental impacts and increasing our understanding of the ecosystem benefits of aquaculture will increase the accessibility of seafood whilst sustainably using marine resources towards the development of healthy stocks.
