The seafood value chain; from production to consumption
- Course code: FBBT005
- Course higher education credits: 3.0
- Department: BIOLOGY AND BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
- Course start: 2022-03-01
- Course end: 2022-04-01
- Course is normally given:
- Language: The course will be given in English
- Nordic Five Tech (N5T): This course is free for PhD students from N5T universities
The course comprises some preparatory reading, an
intensive course week at Kristineberg Research and Innovation centre in
Fiskebäckskil, and studying afterwards. During the week at kristineberg, there
will be lectures, study visits and project work.
At the
end of the course, the students should be able to explain fundamental concepts:
- The most common methods for tank-/sea-based cultivation of extractive
species (e.g. seaweed and mussels), including co-culture with other
organisms at same or different trophic levels (e.g. IMTA)
- The main systems for farming of fish on land, at sea and in
lakes as well as co-culture with other organisms at different trophic
levels (e.g. IMTA)
- Nutritional requirements
and development of sustainable feeds using alternative and
renewable ingredients for organisms in fed aquaculture
- How feed for the most common aquacultured fish species such
as salmon and marine species is produced, including the main steps of fish
meal/fish oil and soy meal/soy oil production
- The most common methods for capture fisheries, including
knowledge about main Swedish fishing areas, quota determination, species
etc.
- How we can reach diversification and increased utilization of
wild caught and aquaculture species for food
- What are the key steps of the seafood production chain based
on typical examples of value chains
- What are current uses, and possibilities for value adding of filleting
co-products
- What are the main criteria determining seafood quality from a (a) chemical/nutritional perspective(e.g. , (b)
sensorial perspective (c) safety perspective; the latter including
microbial safely as well as environmental contaminants
- What do we know about consumer attitudes towards seafood and how can we reach out and make impact with
scientifically based information on seafood
- What are the most well-documented health effects from a
seafood containing diet
- How to perform sustainability analyses of new and existing seafood value chains
- Examples of how to integrate digitalisation and AI in the seafood production system
- Key parts of the legal framework around seafood production
- Examples of how seafood production can be a basis for tourism
- Examples of BLUE FOOD as a basis for entrepreneurship
The involved teachers will share sci papers and
handouts from their presentations. There is no book covering all of the
aspects.
Teachers from Chalmers, GU, RISE, KTH, IVL, industry
(The main part of the course will take place in 7-11th of March, 2022)
