The Establishment of Three Multi Party Frameworks to support commercially focussed seafood R&D.

— Defining and producing commercially relevant techno-functional ingredient opportunities and methodologies for under-utilised species and by-products at laboratory scale;

— Developing working prototypes and SOPs e.g. 1 kg prototype formats;

— Defining equipment and processes to allow scale-up from laboratory processes.

— Producing post-laboratory market-ready ingredient concepts and relevant SOPs at pre-commercial scale;

— Scoping commercial process requirements and associated SOPs;

— Engaging with SMEs, BIM and ingredient customers to explore market interest in products and associated commercial opportunities.

— Carrying out dietary intervention trials (e.g. pig weaner) to test performance (e.g. growth rates, feed intake, feed conversion) of various ingredient seafood diets compared to established diets.
