New Zealand Seafood Research Roadmap
|
|
The development of the New Zealand Research Roadmap has been underwritten by Plant & Food Research, NIWA and Cawthron Institute, and has the support of Aquaculture New Zealand. Further support in its development is being sought from tertiary institutes throughout New Zealand, from other Crown Research Institutes and other private sector research institutes. This Research Roadmap attempts to bring together the various research threads that permeate the seafood research scene in New Zealand including these four seminal documents: :# “Managing our own ship” - A Seafood Industry Economic Development Strategy, first published on 23 June 2009, and with subsequent revisions. :# :# “Fisheries 2030” - New Zealanders maximising benefits from the use of fisheries within environmental limits, first published by the NZ Ministry of Fisheries on 25 November 2008 and revised and republished in September 2009. ISBN 978-0478-11920-8 :# :# “Aquaculture NZ Research Strategy” - first published by Aquaculture New Zealand in April 2009. :# :# “Food Research Roadmap” - first published by the NZ Ministry of Research Science and Technology (now Ministry of Science and Innovation) in May 2009, and with subsequent revisions. The intention is to classify past, current and intended New Zealand seafood research into a programme structure. <big>Potential Seafood Research Programme Structure for New Zealand</big> :# A programme to understand global seafood consumer markets and the significant nutritional, economic, environmental and social drivers in those markets. :# :# A programme to better understand the complete life cycle, physiology and ecological dependency of all of New Zealand’s major commercial seafood species. :# :# A programme to better understand all of the engineering, ecological and environmental aspects of farming marine species (including aquaculture, marine ranching, and marine seeding), in the open ocean, coastal, estuarine and trans-coastal environments. :# :# A programme to understand all aspects of technologies associated with the capture, harvesting and handling of seafood species and the beneficial and deleterious effects on productivity, efficiency, species mortality, product quality and by-catch. :# :# A programme to understand all aspects of technologies associated with the processing of seafood species into desired marketable forms including robotics, food safety, product quality, productivity and efficiency. :# :# A programme to understand all aspects of technologies, material and packaging associated with the storage and transportation of seafood products in all of the possible modes including live, low metabolic states, modified atmosphere, chilled and frozen; and the associated product qualities and characteristics. :# :# A programme to understand the physiological, nutritional and biochemical characteristics of all forms of seafood and associated remaining raw materials (or waste streams) including technologies for isolating, refining and enhancing desired characteristics. :# :# A programme to foster and develop new research capability, capacity and infrastructure for the seafood industry; and to transfer knowledge to the New Zealand seafood industry. It is recognised that this potential programme structure is neither exhaustive nor exclusive; and that successive edits will undoubtedly improve this structure.
