EFB is proud to announce the successful collaboration between our representative, Mr. Leonardo Piccinetti, and the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research (IMR) through the Merfish Project. This secondment program exemplifies our commitment to addressing nutrient contaminant challenges through research networks and innovative solutions.
During his time at IMR, Mr. Piccinetti is working alongside renowned researcher Dr. Yiou Mike Zhu, focusing on advancing the understanding of nutrient contaminant mechanisms in fish and humans. Their joint efforts led to the development of cutting-edge analytical approaches and an assessment of the transfer of these elements in commonly consumed fish species.
As part of the secondment, both Mr. Piccinetti have pleasured to meet Dr. Zhu at Bergen International Conference (NNC2024), where they further solidified their collaborative efforts and expanded their knowledge in the field.
This collaboration directly contributes to several of the Merfish Project’s key objectives:
Building Research Networks: The secondment program fosters strong connections between EFB and IMR, promoting knowledge exchange and collaborative problem-solving.
Understanding Nutrient Contaminant’s Impact: The research conducted by Mr. Piccinetti and Dr. Zhu sheds light on the complex interactions of nutrient contaminants in living organisms, crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies.
Developing Innovative Solutions: Their work on analytical approaches and trophic transfer assessment provides valuable tools for monitoring and managing nutrient contamination in the food chain.
Promoting Sustainable Practices: The insights gained from this collaboration will inform the development of guidelines for aquaculture and fisheries, ensuring the safety and sustainability of seafood production.
EFB views the IMR-EFB partnership through the Merfish Project as a model for successful collaboration in tackling complex environmental and health challenges. By bringing together expertise from different sectors, this project is generating knowledge, fostering innovation, and driving positive change in the fight against nutrient contamination.
