GALP Project Thermophiles

Valorization of species of fishing interest that are increasing due to climate change (thermophiles) through their healthy consumption and sustainable fishing

This project has been carried out on the Costa Brava during 2022 thanks to funding from the Government of Catalonia and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund of the European Union. The study has been coordinated by the SeaHealth research group of the Institute of Aquatic Ecology (IEA) of the University of Girona and the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA).
