INAMEER-Innovation in aquaculture nutrition: Alternatives for larval development of emerging species
INAMEER-Innovation in aquaculture nutrition: Alternatives for larval development of emerging species
The INAMEER project seeks the production of alternative species and innovative techniques for the feeding of larval cultures of emerging species in aquaculture in the Canary Islands.

MIMA-Danger in the twilight zone: Mimicry of Macroplastics with the preys of deep diving predators
MIMA-Danger in the twilight zone: Mimicry of Macroplastics with the preys of deep diving predators
MIMA project aims to investigate why and how plastic have impact in the marine environment, in particular in the deep waters of the mesopelagic layer. This study will evaluate the characteristics of the plastics and comparing them to the characteristics of the natural preys of deep-diving predators, and to propose mitigations measures in terms of plastic composition and strucure. In the end, the project will contribute to mitigate marine pollution and its impacts on living marine organisms and comunities.

Cephatag-Development of a low-cost electronic tagging system to revel the diving behavior and ecological role of oceanic cephalopods
Cephatag-Development of a low-cost electronic tagging system to revel the diving behavior and ecological role of oceanic cephalopods
The CEPHATAG system will be a novel combination of existent implantable electronic archival tags with a combination of multiple sensors (Time, Tª, depth, salinity, 3- axis accelerometer) and a purpose-designed external anchoring system for squids, that comprise a buoyant system, a VHF beeper and a timer release, that will allow reuse the tag and recover it multiple times reducing the effective cost of data acquisition by tag deployed.
