Octopus, squid, cuttlefish, sustainable fisheries and chefs

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Atlantic Area

Date of latest update: 2023-03-02

Description

Description (EN):

In northern Europe, squid, octopus and cuttlefish fishery catches and products are underutilized, while in the south their added value is more important. Cephalopod stocks are not subject to quota management at EU level and opportunities exist to further develop fisheries and markets. The Cephandchefs project aims to develop new markets and products based these cephalopods, increasing the profitability of the value chain, and helping to make fishers more competitive in the Atlantic Area, while assuring sustainable exploitation. The work packages include market and consumer research (for the entire value chain), product development, marketing and design of a sustainability toolkit. Fishermen will be connected to new markets for cephalopod products, add value to existing products, and aim for better prices for cephalopods from the Atlantic Area. Biological and socioeconomic sustainability will be carefully audited throughout the project. This project objectives are to: (i) add value to cephalopod products: development and promotion of new products, new market initiatives (e.g. certification) and business opportunities for this sector; (ii) improve knowledge of the value chain ("from sea to table") factors affecting sustainability in the short term (e.g., low prices, imports, consumer demand) and potential market developments in the long term; (iii) improve knowledge of eating habits and acceptance of new cephalopod food products by consumers in North and South Europe; (iv) ensure sustainability of fishing activity by assessing status of stocks, fisheries and ecosystems based on biological and socioeconomic indicators.

Achievements (EN):

The Atlantic economy has a strong maritime dimension, with a traditionally strong fishing industry. However, the sector is under pressure due to stock depletion, economic fluctuations, and changing regulations and markets. Opportunities exist to develop targeted fisheries for squid, octopus and cuttlefish in northern Europe for sale in new markets. The CEPH&CHEFS project developed new market initiatives and products based on cephalopods (squid, octopus, cuttlefish), increasing the profitability of the value chain, helping to make fishers more competitive and aiming for better prices for cephalopods from the Atlantic Area. The project also developed tools and strategies to ensure that fishing is sustainable. It is the case of a sustainability toolkit and roadmap to achieve long-term sustainability in fished species, targeted at the fishing industry. CEPH&CHEFS improved knowledge of the value chain (“from sea to table”) and of eating habits and acceptance of new cephalopod food products by consumers in Northern and Southern Europe. Chefs in the Atlantic Area were involved in diversifying seafood offerings in restaurants and teaching materials were developed for trainee chefs. The “Market Opportunities for Octopus in the Atlantic Area” provides a summary of the main results obtained during the CEPH&CHEFS project with regard to trade, market initiatives and consumer choices. Biological and socioeconomic sustainability were carefully audited throughout the project, assessing status of Atlantic cephalopod stocks, fisheries and ecosystems, based on biological and socioeconomic indicators. Results were presented at the International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES) working group on cephalopods and at ICES Annual Science Conferences. A policy brief including scientific information to help managers and policy-makers make informed decisions about the sustainability of cephalopod fisheries was made available to fishery governance bodies.

Expected Results (EN):

• Tangible market benefits including new products and fisheries which are “certification ready” and improved sustainability of cephalopod fishing, delivering benefits through the value chain; • Reports on fishery diversification, new products in development, new markets or territories, new means to add value, enhanced food safety, and evaluation of prospects for increased market reach. The knowledge generated will be exploited by producers in the partnership, to the ultimate benefit of consumers and coastal communities.

Expected Outputs (EN):

• Description of value chain in northern/southern contexts, market analysis, and production of a guide to commercialization for the industry. This knowledge will help producers and wholesalers to add value; • Demonstration events and gastronomy materials for end users (chefs and catering colleges); • Stock status summaries, sustainability assessments (biological and socioeconomic) considering environmental footprints and ecosystem status, recommendations for monitoring, assessment and management of fisheries. Policy briefs will be made available to fishery governance bodies, while improved sustainability will deliver benefits through the value chain; • A “sustainability toolkit” and roadmap to achieve long term sustainability in fished species; • Scientific publications, contributing to scientific knowledge on cephalopods fisheries, value chains and market opportunities; • Public events and a recipe book.
