Objective
This Collective project will improve the infra-structure of our crustacean fishery sector and start the process of improving our level of innovation and exploitation of technology in relation to our global competitors. As a result, we expect to increase our share in global market by improving crustacean quality, efficiency, and reduce costs. To fulfil this objective our sector needs to innovate and develop new & cost effective production methods through the whole value chain. The main objective is therefore to reduce mortality and loss in quality after capture and to expand the market opportunities for live crustaceans.
Our idea is to design a new technical solution for grading, holding & transport of live crustaceans and to facilitate development of new protocols and systems for handling, storage & transportation of live crustaceans through the complete value chain. In order to achieve this, the following knowledge & technological capabilities will need to be developed: - enhanced understanding of specific biological requirements of specific crustacean species (Edible crab & European lobster) and the physical factors (particularly water quality) that impact onto their health, growth and survival. - enhanced understanding related to handling, storage and transportation of live crustaceans in terms of how to improve survival and quality, and hence add value to the sectors of crustacean fisheries, and in the near future aquaculture. - development of a patentable, cost effective crustacean grading unit for objective grading of such species into different qualities based on meat content. - development of a patentable transportation technology consisting of intelligent transportation boxes comprising a floodable system for flushing of the live crustacean animals.
