What is SEATRACES?

SEATRACES is an Interreg Atlantic Area Project aimed at demonstrating to stakeholders (production, industry, markets) and consumers that Labelling and Traceability are essential to protect and valorize Atlantic Area’s fisheries and aquaculture. SEATRACES will develop a set of tools for implementing traceability and Seafood Labeling using smart-phone and other innovative technologies, thus facilitating a Sustainable Seafood Production

What we do

The SEATRACES consortium is composed by experts in different areas, such as those related to fisheries sustainability and conservation, genetic authentication of marine organisms, consumer studies, certification of traceability, bivalve aquaculture as well as government agencies dealing with fisheries, and official control laboratories for foods, working together for developing new and standardised authentication techniques, implementing a European virtual facility for seafood authentication and demonstrating the benefits of seafood traceability and labelling.

IPMA researchers IPMA, Bárbara Teixeira, HelenaVieira, Sandra Martins and Rogério Mendes, recently published an article in the scientific journal Foods MDPI addressing the development of a rapid and non destructive method for the detection of water addition in two octopus species (Octopus vulgaris and Eledone cirrhosa) using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR).

This article follows previous ones by the same team related with food authenticity and specifically the control of water added to octopus using new and more convenient methods that simplify the control of this abusive practice.

The study characterized the baseline levels of moisture, protein, electrical conductivity, and cooking losses of octopus for control quality purposes and compared the kinetics of water uptake in the two octopus species.
