FishNet is a bilateral initiative funded by EEA Fund for Bilateral Relations.
FishNet aims at establishing a solid network in the research field of global change impacts on fish, gathering partners who share scientific interests. It will promote the discussion and the exchange of expertise on anthropogenic related stressors, focusing on noise and temperature increase and how they affect fish.
FishNet will bring together researchers from Norway (NOR) and Portugal (PT), with complementary expertise in the fields of fish behaviour, ecology, biology, conservation, genetics, evolution and global changes. This multidisciplinary team shares an interest in conservation biology using an established fish model species, the two-spotted goby, Gobiusculus flavescens, which distributes along the North-East Atlantic (NEA) from PT to NOR. Coastal areas of the NEA are considered the most heavily impacted areas by anthropogenic pressure, thus focusing on a species that spans along NEA is ideal to gain broader insights on the effects of global changes on fish.
FishNet proposes activities of exchange of know-how and best practices, specifically on a research field common to all institutions involved, focusing on a fish target species shared by NOR and PT. Fishnet will allow to reinforce the scientific collaboration between these institutions and between both countries, providing a solid basis for the participation in future European project calls.
FishNet é uma iniciativa bilateral financiada pelo programa do Fundo de Relações Bilaterais, das EEA.
O FishNet visa estabelecer uma rede sólida no campo da investigação dos impactos das alterações globais nos peixes, reunindo parceiros que partilham interesses científicos. Irá promover a discussão e o intercâmbio de conhecimento sobre o impacto de stressores de origem antropogénica, com foco no ruído e aumento da temperatura, nos peixes.
Reunirá investigadores da Noruega (NOR) e de Portugal (PT), com competências complementares nas áreas do comportamento dos peixes, ecologia, biologia, conservação, genética, evolução e alterações globais. Esta equipa multidisciplinar partilha um interesse na biologia da conservação, usando uma espécie modelo de peixe, o caboz-de-duas-pintadas, Gobiusculus flavescens, que se distribui ao longo do Atlântico Nordeste (NEA), de PT a NOR. As áreas costeiras do NEA são consideradas as áreas mais impactadas pela pressão antropogénica, por isso, o foco numa espécie que se estende ao longo do NEA é ideal para obter uma visão mais ampla sobre os efeitos das alterações globais nos peixes.
Esta iniciativa permitirá reforçar a colaboração científica entre as instituições envolvidas, e entre os dois países, fornecendo uma base sólida para a participação em futuros concursos de projetos europeus na temática das alterações climáticas.
