Hanna Łądkowska, project manager, Department of Experimental Ecology of Marine Organisms, Institute of Oceanography, University of Gdańsk
The lecture will provide an overview of the most promising blue bioeconomy sectors in terms of growth (e.g. good practices, pilots implementations, developments plans) with the special emphasis of an innovative aquaculture.
Experienced project manager of international research projects founded within EU (FP5, FP6, FP7, LIFE+, INTERREG, BONUS EEIG, EOG) and national programmes, with the background in marine science (MSc in Marine Physics, Doctoral Programme on Environmental Studies, Postgraduate Studies on Innovative Technologies Management), strongly engaged in science-policy integration, technology transfer and international cooperation, especially under Blue Growth (University of Gdańsk representative in SUBMARINER Network for Blue Growth EEIG), working at the Institute of Oceanography University of Gdańsk. My professional interests include an innovative aquaculture, application of System Approach Framework into the practice of Integrated Coastal Zone Management and triple helix model of innovation. Recent projects: InnoAquaTech, BluePlatform, AquaVIP.
with participation of:
Konrad Ocalewicz, PhD, assistant professor at the Department of Marine Biology and Ecology, Institute of Oceanography, University of Gdańsk
"Current trends in aquaculture - problems and prospects"
The lecture will touch issues related to aquaculture sector in the pandemic era: lockdown and its consequences for production of fish, fish processing, limitations of transportation, consumption (markets and restaurants). Most of the issues will be discussed based on our observations on the salmonid fish aquaculture and market in Poland and the EU.
Konrad Ocalewicz received his M.Sc.in the field of biotechnology in animal breeding from University of Agriculture and Technology in Olsztyn in 1998 and his PhD in agriculture and fisheries from University of Warmia and Mazury in 2002. Results of his research on the spontaneous and induced chromosome mutations in the rainbow trout were part of his D.Sc. dissertation defended at the Department of Biology and Biotechnology, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn in 2011. Since 2013, Konrad Ocalewicz has been an assistant professor at the Department of Marine Biology and Ecology, Institute of Oceanography, University of Gdańsk. He also serves as an Assistant Editor in the Journal of Fish Biology, the official journal of The Fisheries Society of the British Isles (FSBI). Konrad Ocalewicz completed two years (2003-2005) of postodoctoral research in Laboratoire de Genetique des Poissons, INRA, Jouy-en-Josas, France where he studied functionality of L-gulono-gamma-lactone oxidase gene in fish. He was also involved in the international project Control of sex in Atlantic halibut: Towards production of monosex all-female stocks conducted in The University of Nordland (Bodo, Norway) and University in Stirling (UK) (2006). His scientific interests cover a range of issues such as aquaculture, sex determination and differentiation in fish, development of the isogenic and clonal fish lines, production of sterile triploid and all-female stocks of salmonids, dynamics of teloemric DNA and telomerase in fish cells, among others.
