This project aims to draw together the expertise from Norway, Iceland, Scotland and Greenland, to optimise the fishing of high value sea urchins in these northern arctic regions and to develop roe fattening as a viable option to increase the value of low value sea urchins once they have been collected from the wild. This pre-project will look to facilitate the transfer of existing knowledge between all the participating nations and facilitate a full project application with the aim of enabling the participating nations to fully utilise their respective sea urchin resources. This in turn will create employment opportunities in both the sea urchin fishing and roe fattening industries as well as spin off industries such as transport, packing and marketing.
