PRESENTATION OF THE POLE
(en)12/02/2007> Its role? AQUIMER is an active interface between companies' projects and their materialisation.
> Its objectives? AQUIMER contributes to the competitivity of companies by meeting their needs, by helping them to maintain and develop their activities through R&D and technological improvements.
AQUIMER : A TOOL AT THE SERVICE OF BUSINESSES, SCIENTISTS AND TRAINING CENTRES
> AQUIMER FACILITATES THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR BUSINESS
The pole :
gathers your needs or helps you to identify them,- accompanies you through your thought process: in the building of research projects, putting you in touch with the appropriate contacts, advising you on the services best suited to your request,
- brings you the benefit of technical and administrative support from an operational team in the building of your projects (funding applications, consortium agreements, communication of results),
- brings you the benefit of funding dedicated to projects labellised by the Poles of Competitiveness,
- gives you access to mutualised technological tools, to a collaborative platform and to the Pole's Watch Centre (database available online, question and answer service...).
> AQUIMER MOBILISES THE FUNDING FOR YOUR RESEARCH AND TRAINING PROJECTS
AQUIMER helps to build your research projects and gives you access to funding dedicated to the Poles of Competitiveness.The pole :
- defines its research priorities at a national level and calls upon the competencies of scientists and training centres to produce concrete results,
- helps to put together research and development projects of public interest in partnership with professionals and scientific organisations, technical and training centres,
- co-ordinates collective actions,
- helps to mobilise the funding necessary for the execution projects and accompanies them in their building and administrative follow-up,
- facilitates networking on the Pole's themes.
In this mission of exchange with the scientific community, AQUIMER is backed by the Comité d'Orientation Scientifique, Technique et d'Innovation (COSTI). Within the Pole, the COSTI plays a unifying role at national level: rings together all the scientific players and their competencies to constitute a wealth of propositions on the collective tasks to be undertaken and then to ensure that they are monitored and implemented. Innovative PRODUCTS drawing on new technologies with tighter sanitary safety
AQUIMER's programmes focus on three themes: :- Maximising the available resources and creating new resources based on sustainable development
- Positioning fishery products in future foodstuff
- Changing the fundamentals of the aquatic food industry to promote the emergence of new technological and business approaches
> Objective : Given the growing demand for seafood products, the future of the companies industry depends on optimal enhancement of fishing catches and the development of aquaculture.
> Areas for Research and Development :
- Using and enhance 100% of the available resources
- Diversifying the exploitation of wild resources
- Developing and consolidating the French aquaculture industry
> Examples of projects :
- VEGEAQUA : Adaptation of aquaculture fish to plant feedstuff?
- SEAMINEROIL : Development of new products from mineral and lipid fractions of fishing and aquaculture co-products

> Examples of projects :
- VEGEAQUA : Adaptation of aquaculture fish to plant feedstuff?
- SEAMINEROIL : Development of new products from mineral and lipid fractions of fishing and aquaculture co-products
> Objective : Companies must create added value in order to meet the rapidly changing markets (manufactured fishery products, etc.) and the changing expectations of consumers.
> Research en Development areas :
- Diversify the aquatic food supply
- Break down the barriers to the consumption of fishery products
- Ensure the naturalness and nutritional balance of manufactured fishery products in order to open up new markets.
> Examples of projects :
- AVCOP : Taking into account the bone issue and the enhancement of fish products and by-products within a range of innovative food products
- SEARET : Automated deboning of fillets of white fish

- SEARET : Automated deboning of fillets of white fish
> Objective : One of the ways of improving the competitiveness of companies is by making productivity gains. To obtain them, processes must be innovated and improved, integrating sustainable development issues.
> Research end Development areas :
- Promote the emergence of new technologies accessible to the entire industry
- Make the production and processing cycle consistent with sustainable development requirements
> Examples of projects :
- High Pressure : the interest of high pressure to improve the conservation of fish and control the presence of the Anisakis parasite
- BIOFILMS : Constitution of bacterial and food deposits on surfaces (structure, cohesion, kinetics). Consequences in terms of surface hygiene
