\u201cWe received many diverse and interesting proposals but focused on projects that will add value to ICES Science Plan, are feasible, and engage both academic and government institutions. Scientists in the early stages of their career were given a preference in the selection process,\u201d said Yvonne Walther, chair of ICES Science Committee (SCICOM). <\/p>\n
The projects being supported are \u2018100 years of Baltic Sea changes\u2019, \u2018Catch rate standardisation of fin-fishes targeted by the Galician (NW Spain) small-scale fishery\u2019 and \u2018Comparison of trophic control dynamics between two areas of the western European Shelf Seas, the Bay of Biscay and Gulf of Cadiz.<\/p>\n
Also being supported are \u2018Developing methods for determining a global footprint of mobile bottom fishing using VMS data\u2019, \u2018Holistic approach to analyse benthic fauna communities on the whole Baltic Sea (BSW)\u2019, \u2018Insights from Behavioural Economics to improve Fisheries Management\u2019, \u2018Social network analysis of ICES expert groups\u2019 and \u2018The molecular mechanisms and reversibility of fisheries-induced evolution – an experimental approach\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking a selection was hard but the process used SCICOMs wide variety of expertise. What we are doing, in fact, is creating opportunities and leading ICES science into a certain direction in the future,\u201d Ms Walther added.<\/p>\n
All projects will have two partners, reflecting shared leadership between academic and government research institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
