FHF Wild Capture Fisheries R&D Program
Supports Applied innovation development grants for Norway's wild capture fisheries fishing vessel technology, bycatch reduction, gear innovation, and species specific processing.
FHF's Wild Capture Fisheries R&D Program sits inside the same seafood research funder and covers Norway's capture-side fisheries work rather than aquaculture. Its themes include fishing operations, shellfish, fresh and frozen whitefish, conventional industry, pelagic industry, and the framework conditions that shape the sector.
The programme uses recurring calls, with PIB as a common label for ha…
